Missouri Governor to address worsening drought conditions
Missouri Governor Mike Parson is set to address the state’s current drought situation.
He is holding a press conference tomorrow, July 21 at 2:00 p.m., to discuss actions his Administration will take to aid Missouri’s farmers and ranchers battling worsening drought conditions.
Governor Parson will be joined by Department of Natural Resources Director Dru Buntin, Department of Conservation Director Sara Parker Pauley, and Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chin.
The U.S. Drought Monitor shows most of our area is in D2, or severe drought, with hot and dry weather expected to continue through the rest of the month.
