Flood damage assessments on farms and fields continue in Missouri.
State Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn says a second ag disaster declaration is being sought through USDA’s Farm Service Agency, but they have to wait for floodwaters to recede to tally damages.
Director Chinn tells Missouirnet that 91% of Missouri corn is planted and that 93% of soybeans are in the ground.
Missouri’s first ag disaster declaration was granted in June, for 15 counties.
The governor’s second request is for damage assessments in 37 counties along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and a few large tributaries.
