Northwest of St. Louis near Bowling Green, Missouri, farmer Meagan Kaiser is still waiting for floodwaters to uncover farmland. Out of 5,000 acres, the Kaiser family will be lucky to harvest 150 acres of corn and soybeans this harvest. “We flooded in late March, which was fine, and then applied fertilizer and planted our corn,” says Kaiser. “Then the rains started and by May 30 the levee broke. We are still waiting to move my in-laws back into their home on our fifth generation farm.” Right now, the Kaisers are focusing on preparing the next crop year. “You can’t manage what you don’t measure, so we are grid sampling and using soil tests to relearn what our soil structure and microbial activity might look like.” Hear from Kaiser in this interview.
