Farmers need big winter to offset a dry 2011

December 19, 2011 By Mike Lear

The federal agriculture department has declared 101 Missouri counties as drought disaster areas. Researchers at the University of Missouri tell the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the state will need 13 feet of snow this winter to compensate for the summer drought after the spring floods in many counties, and without a bad winter, soil moisture will be depleted for the spring planting season.

Researchers say Missouri grain farmers have lost about 350-milion dollars because of the dry weather this year.
