Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and 35% of the world’s food crops depend on pollinators to reproduce. But their habitats are disappearing.
That’s why efforts like the Highway 13 Butterfly Coalition matter.

This grassroots movement is focused on creating habitats, enhancing ecotourism and educating communities along the migration corridor that monarch butterflies traverse each year between Hamilton and Branson.

MU Extension plays a vital role by providing its expertise to conduct biodiversity assessments and habitat studies, as well as developing educational displays.

◾ Roughly one in 20 private-sector workers are employed in agribusiness. In Missouri, agribusiness employment is notably higher in nonmetro counties (12%) than in metro counties (4%).

Missouri’s farmland market remains steady overall, according to the 2025 Agricultural Business and Policy- MU Extension Farmland Values Opinion Survey.

The average value of “good” non-irrigated cropland is $8,596 per acre, nearly unchanged from last year. However, pastureland dipped slightly in value and values for timberland and recreational land saw increases.

Respondents reported the highest land values in the eastern urban area and the lowest in the south-central region.
