FARM
DeKalb County remains one of Illinois’ agricultural leaders. Beyond its fields, DeKalb ranks
as the state’s second-largest hog-producing county, marketing more than 950,000 pigs a
year, while beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, and poultry round out a livestock sector worth
nearly $150 million annually. Across northern Illinois, animal production eased modestly
over the past year: the state’s hog herd slipped to 5.35 million head by March 2026, down
about 4% from 5.55 million a year earlier. Cattle supplies stayed historically tight—the
national herd opened 2026 at roughly 86.2 million head—while U.S. milk production
climbed as the dairy herd expanded. Together, crops and livestock generate more than
$551 million in yearly production value.
