One of the farmers who will be affected called local Chicago talk radio yesterday. He said Illinois didn’t maintain their levees properly (kinda like New Orleans?) and now Missouri farmers will suffer. He was very angry.....Today’s news reports were turning it into a racial issue. Probably Dem Illinois politicians trying to get ahead of the story of their negligence..
Cairo's residents are mostly black. The town is an arm pit, as I noted before, not worth the hundreds of thousands of acres of prime Missouri farm land that will be lost to production, plus the farm houses that will be destroyed.
Flood borne silt would be one of the best things for that farmland. Millenia of annual floods is why it is farmland.
“He said Illinois didn’t maintain their levees properly (kinda like New Orleans?)”
So maybe they will fail before they can destroy the Missouri farm land! I would never wish this on anyone, but this political corruption has to end! Maybe the lawmaker in question should deliver paddles and boats to the farmers that will be effected. I would believe that most of the farmers would use the paddles on the asses backside. I would anyway:~\
