Over the past 26 years, the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) has created millions of acres of upland and wetland habitat for quail, pheasants, ducks, deer, turkeys and a wide array of nongame wildlife by offering payments to farmers for taking highly erodible farmland out of production. Efforts continue with the USDA’s and Missouri Farm Service’s (MFS) recent announcement of a CRP general signup March 12 - April 6.

Quilt show through 4 p.m. today...
The Adrian Optimist building is filled with the handiwork of true artists.... the vast display clearly shows the countless hours involved in the art of quilting. The show is being held as a fundraiser through our local Relay for Life team to raise money for cancer research.
Concessions are available and the show runs through 4 p.m. today.
Our Energy Future
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
Energy costs, security and consumption are on the minds of Missourians every day. We see the effects of poor energy policy every time we fill up our vehicles at the local service station. Increases in fuel costs drive up prices for transportation fees and are passed along to consumers in every product we purchase. A way to combat this issue and to work toward becoming more energy independent is to increase the supply of fuel we produce in North America.
Recently, I sponsored Senate Concurrent Resolution 21 that encourages our federal delegation to continue development and construction on the Keystone XL pipeline extension in order to utilize our country’s vast resources
