Missouri’s Ag Director was part of a group of ag leaders
that met with Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue at the Farm Progress Show.
Chris Chinn says it was important to be able to discuss the issues facing the state’s ag industry.
“We talked about flooding— we had 1.2 million acres under water this year and almost 1.4 million acres of prevent plant and that’s going to hurt,” she says. “It hurts our ag economy, it hurts our farmers, and we want to make sure that people are aware of the challenges our farmers are facing.”
She tells Brownfield the state’s levee system remains a
priority.
