(605 ILCS 5/5-412) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-412)
Sec. 5-412.
The county board, of each county, may contract with persons
growing row crops on land adjacent to county highways to buy standing strips
of such crops to remain in place to act as snow breaks along such highways
in those places where experience shows that drifting snow has been an
obstruction to traffic. The contract price to be paid by the county board in any such
case shall be the higher of the market price in the local area of
such crop at the time of contracting or the current Commodity Credit
Corporation target price. An additional sum of money equal to at least 10% of the
contract price may be paid to the grower as an inconvenience fee.
