Climate-Based Funding Heads to MO Farmers Through Missouri State University

Missouri State University has received 25 million dollars from the USDA to assist and push farmers to adopt what they believe are practices to combat climate change.

According to a horticulture expert at the university, Robert Balek, this is the largest grant the department has ever been awarded.

“This is a grant for climate change,” Balek said. “It’s helping farmers implement new practices to mitigate their crops for climate change.”
