Lake of the Ozarks Regional Economic Develpment Council has been chosen as one of the initial two regions in Missouri to participate in the Stronger Economies Together (SET) program.
The program was created to help encourage rural counties to work together to develop and implement a regional economic development strategy or plan. Within Missouri, the SET program is a joint collaborative initiative between University of Missouri Extension and USDA Rural Development. Missouri is one of only eight states to participate in the pilot SET program nationally. Six region within Missouri applied for the initial round of SET assistance.
This is a unique and groundbreaking venture for all involved, and will provide encouragement and guidance to the residents and businesses in Camden, Miller, and Morgan counties.
The farmers who lead the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council (MSMC) represent all Missouri soybean farmers. The USDA encourages all checkoff boards to grow leadership that reflects a diversity of perspectives and opinions. It's improtant that MSMC's board considers the diversity of Missouri soybean farmers when making soybean checkoff funding decisions, whether that's diversity based on size of operation, method of production, marketing strategies, age, race or other distinguishing factors. If you are interested in helping lead Missouri's soybean industry, they want to hear from you. Contact the MSMC office at 800-662-3261 to learn about how you can serve on the board of MSMC.
