GET ME REWRITE: 24 years later, the population of Monroe County Illinois increased 26% and the number of farms has stabilized

 
The 1999 New York Times article reported that the county's population was expected to double by 2020.  That didn't happen.

The number of farms in Monroe County dropped from 802 in 1982 to 556 in 1997.  According to the 2017 USDA census of agriculture, the county had 568 farms.  This census takes place every 5 years.


That was then:  New York Times, 5/23/1999
