Missouri Rice Council Members Advocate at State Capitol

February 17, 2023

Blake Davis, MO Rice Council; Representative Jamie Burger; Mollie Buckler, USRPA; Rance Daniels, MO Rice Council; and David Martin, Missouri Rice Council Chairman. Members of the Missouri Rice Council spent the day in Jefferson City on Wednesday, educating and advocating on behalf of the state's rice industry. In addition to meeting with legislators, the group had the opportunity to visit with MO Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn and our friends at Missouri Farm Bureau.

The beautiful murals in the background of the photo with Representative Jamie Burger were created entirely out of rice by students from Neelyville. The school group also visited the Capitol yesterday and had their artwork displayed in the Capitol Rotunda. The day ended with Senator Jason Bean's inaugural Taste of the South event, a fantastic event bringing together legislators with the great folks of SEMO and featuring favorite dishes from the bootheel.
Thanks to Missouri Department Agriculture Director Chris Chinn and the Ag Business Development team for taking the time to visit.
