Missouri’s Ag Director says Governor Parson’s new flood
advisory task force is not just to benefit Missouri, “What steps are we going
to take forward? This isn’t just about Missouri. We’ve got to work with Kansas
and Iowa and Nebraska moving forward to make sure that our efforts here in
Missouri are going to complement their efforts as well.”
Chris Chinn tells Brownfield the goal of the task force is to establish Missouri’s path forward in rebuilding infrastructure, revitalizing damaged flood ground and refocusing flood control priorities, “The members of this (task force) include the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the Missouri Economic Development Department, MODOT, and SEMA, as well as river coalition members and ag organization members and some local governments.”
The governors of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas have
begun collaborating, having met this spring with Corps of Engineers officials
about prioritizing flood management of the Missouri River.
