Abstract
The first major weather modification project to occur in Illinois was pursued in East Central Illinois during late July-August of 1976. It related to an effort to increase summer rainfall. A group of farmers and others concerned with agricultural production in a 5-county area centered on Coles County decided to raise funds and hire a cloud seeder in an effort to increase the precipitation.
