Missouri Department of Agriculture Celebrates National Agriculture Week! This week we celebrate our agricultural and agricultural related businesses as part of National Agriculture Week. Agriculture is the state’s number one economic driver, and we are proud to help them thrive. Part of our efforts are funded through a USDA RISE Grant. This opportunity has allowed us to work with entrepreneurs and businesses that want to grow and expand their agriculture related business. We can offer technical assistance, microenterprise loans, and access to a statewide network to assist local ag businesses. As part of that project, we are hosting a workshop with our resource partners on March 19th to see how we can collectively work together to grow businesses in the Ag sector.

Thank you to all those who help Missouri’s Agriculture thrive!
