Light rain comes to central MO, but more needed

Light rain comes to central MO, but more needed

A central Missouri farmer says his farm hasn’t received much rain in the last few days.

“We got two-tenths of an inch and I think that’s the best we’ve gotten over the last month.”

Nathan Alpers from Prairie Home tells Brownfield says more rain is needed to help the crops and pasture grow.

“The grass isn’t doing anything. We ought to have grass more than knee high and it’s shin high heading out and the hay will be at the most, half a crop, if it doesn’t rain.”

Alpers says while his irrigated corn has a good start, it’s not very tall.
