A Missouri farmer has growing concerns about weather patterns in his area.
“I want normal like it was when I was a kid with an inch rain every Saturday night (laughter).”
Veteran farmer Richard Oswald said weather swings have become a lot more dramatic in his time farming. Oswald, who farms in the far northwest corner of Missouri near the Missouri River, said he relocated after being flooded in 2019.
“[I] was trying to establish a new yard and it’s kind of on a hillside and I’d get seed on it and it would look like rain and I’d say ‘well that’s good, it’s going to make the grass grow’,” he said.
