The recent abundance of storms and extreme rains may very well hurt the crops produced by local farmers. Therefore, hurting the availability at local Farmer's Markets. Price will also be increasing.
Driving through the agricultural areas of mid Missouri recently was like driving between swollen rivers, rain has caused some flooding in the fields.
Hopefully consumers will pay attention to these facts when they purchase from their local farmer's markets who boast of locally grown produce, much of which is not even in season yet in this area. Consumers should educate themselves on what is currently in season, and ready for harvest. A lot of the produce being offered at local farmers markets is not grown by that vendor, but trucked in from other areas, grown by someone else.
Tomorrow's post will look at some of the tourism events that can be attended close to home in this time of money crunch!!!!!!!!!
