4. Gov. Parson issues Missouri executive order over foreign-owned farmland |
Jan. 2024, ST. LOUIS – Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has issued an executive order pertaining to
foreign-owned farmland in the state.
The order bans individuals and businesses from nations designated as “foreign adversaries”
from purchasing agricultural land within a 10-mile radius of critical military facilities
in Missouri.
“With heightened concerns regarding ownership of Missouri farm land by foreign adversaries,
especially China, we are signing this order to safeguard our military and intelligence
assets, prevent security threats to our state, and give Missourians greater peace of mind,”
said Gov. Parson during a news conference Tuesday. “When it comes to China and other
foreign adversaries, we must take commonsense precautions that protect Missourians and
our security resources.” |

Missouri Dairy Judging Team Places 2nd in Nation - Headed to Europe |
For the first time in history, Missouri 4-H Dairy Judging
was the high team in oral reasons at the National 4-H
Dairy Cattle Judging Contest, held October 1 in Madison,
Wisconsin at World Dairy Expo. The team had its best finish
since 1920 according to Karla Deaver. The team consisting
of Logan Archer, Molly Archer, Case Melzer and Libby
Shaver finished second overall in a field of 20 teams,
qualifying them for international competition.
This summer, the team will travel to Scotland, Ireland, and
England to compete with other winning teams and to learn
about agriculture and the dairy industry in another part of
the world. “Earning a trip to Europe is really quite special.
Having the opportunity to travel and compete internationally
will be one of many reasons this judging team experience will
be memorable for our team.” The team is currently raising
money to participate in the international dairy youth tour in the
summer for 2024. |
