 Decatur,
Illinois has long had a proud tradition of workers and craftsmen
who produced coal, water pumps, gloves, automobiles, clothing,
corn meal, and many other products.
Though it is home to Caterpillar's second largest plant and serves
as world headquarters for Archer Daniels Midland, a global processor
of corn and soybeans, Decatur is much more than jobs and factories.
If Illinois is the Heartland, then Decatur is the Heart of the
Heartland.
