disasters wreaking havoc. We went from a
blizzard to a flood to the beginnings of a droughtlast year to a full-on drought and heat wave this
year. This comes as our state is trying to climbout of an economic recession. The timing simply
could not be worse.
Fortunately, the Missouri Corn GrowersAssociations plan to hold severaldemonstrations, in conjunction with the MissouriCattlemens Association and the University of
Missouri Commercial Agriculture Program andExtension to discuss feeding options for
incorporating forages into livestock feedingrations, including ammoniation and liming
processes. A demonstration has been scheduled
for Sept. 20 at the MU Beef Research andTeaching Farms Annual Field Day in Columbia.
There are other demonstrations scheduledthroughout the month in other parts of the state.
The event planned on the 20th is the closest tothe 21st Senatorial District.
I would like to thank the Corn Growers
Association and all the other folks who are takingthe time to reach out to rural Missouri and help
our farmers wherever they can. We can get pastthis challenging drought, but we have to work
together. I continue to pray for a bettereconomic and agricultural climate for our states
citizens in the coming year.
Senator Stouffer serves the counties of Carroll,Chariton, Cooper, Howard, Lafayette, Macon, Ray,
Saline, and a part of Clay.
