The state ag director says the Missouri Ag Department’s new AgriStress helpline was launched at an important time for farmers and ranchers.
Chris Chinn tells Brownfield record input costs, drought in the southern two-thirds of the state, and flooding in eastern Missouri have been devastating for farmers.
“But it’s in those moments, that our farmers and ranchers, they’re resilient; they find a way to persevere, they find a way to make things work – and that’s why we’re so proud of them,” Chinn said.
