Blending the deep roots of the south with the heart of the Midwest, southeast Missouri offers plentiful resources and unique characteristics. The natural beauty of the region is preserved in pristine condition within the treasured Mark Twain National Forest. The more southern portion of this region was once plagued with flooding from the Mississippi River. However, with the aid of drainage and irrigation systems, the Mississippi River turned from foe to friend of agriculture. Now, a variety of vital agricultural crops flourishes in the region, offering some of the country's best supplies of cotton and rice. Ports along the Mississippi River also serve as an important means of distributing Missouri goods and products to the global marketplace.

Kitchen Table Talks

Let U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill know your concerns and issues by attending one of the many "Kitchen Table Talks" conducted by her staff all across Missouri."It's important that I hear what Missourians think about the issues affecting our state," said McCaskill. "I am always asking myself 'Is this a good idea for Missouri?'"

"Hearing common-sense feedback from Missourians is the key to helping me answer this question." The staff are documenting the issues constituents are facing, as well as any input that residents have on impending legislation. The findings will be reported back directly to Senator McCaskill. Please see the schedule to find an event near you.
