In a year where Missouri farmers are already dealing with extensive drought and the typical challenges that agriculture brings, this kind of vandalism is so infuriating. Even in good times, it's appalling. But in a year like we've had this year in 2023, it really makes me hope even harder that whoever is responsible will be caught and prosecuted.
