Nearly half of Missouri enters drought alert

Governor Parson has declared a drought alert for 53 counties in southern and central Missouri.

He said several actions supporting farmers and ranchers are being set in motion…

“Already, the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation are partnering to provide farmers with access to water at state parks and conservation areas, similar to our efforts in 2018,” Parson said.

He said state parks are also identifying land suitable for emergency haying.
