Dakotas blizzard runoff could impact Missouri

Missouri could see effects of the blizzard that hit North and South

Dakota late last week. If weather in the Dakotas warms it will melt the snow

and send it down the Missouri River, according to Chris Chinn, director of the

Missouri Department of Agriculture. Missouri farmers continue to deal with high

water as they recover from flooding that’s already happened this year, said

Chinn.

“We’re all praying that we have a light winter so there isn’t going to be a lot

of additional snow,” Chinn told Brownfield Ag News, “so that our farmers here

in Missouri have that needed break to get their levees built, to get back in

their homes, to do that clean-up process.”

If more floods are coming, Chinn says areas that have already seen the greatest

flood impact will need the most attention.
