Senator Claire McCaskill wants to hear directly from Missouri farmers about their wants in the upcoming Farm Bill.
McCaskill begins a four-day tour Tuesday hitting 13 Missouri communities, including Concordia Tuesday evening. She'll be visiting Columbia, Huntsville and Malta Bend on Wednesday.
McCaskill says she wants to gain additional insight on agricultural priorities that impact Missouri's agricultural economy.
The Farm Bill is expected to be on the senate floor this fall. It will designate what agricultural funds will go where over the next few years.
