Ten local farms and businesses on display for Missouri Farm Bureau’s Annual Agritourism Conference

HANNIBAL (WGEM) – The Show-Me State’s two hottest industries – agriculture and tourism – is taking off right here in the Tri-States this week. It’s part of the Missouri Farm Bureau’s annual conference that connects farmers across the state.

Each year, Missouri’s Annual Agritourism Conference takes place in a different part of the state. This year you can find it in Northeast Missouri for the first time ever. The conference creates opportunities to visit farms and businesses to learn from one another. The dozens of visitors were up bright and early so they could visit nine of those in Hannibal, Monroe City, New London, and Frankford.

At one of those locations, Sweetwater Distillery’s owner Andy Utterback gave attendees a tour and answered any questions as they sampled the many hard liquors made in-house.

“The barrel does a lot of work for you,” Utterback explained to visitors. “So you can really put some rough liquor in one of those barrels.”

The tour ended at the Orchard where the group had the chance to try a local farm-to-table cuisine.

“We’ve had a full day of bus tours, touring different agritourism businesses,” said one attendee Matt Moreland, owner of Red Barn Ranch in Harrisonville.

Moreland said his favorite stop was the Orchard.

“I love history,” Moreland said. “This place is really neat. I think this barn was built in 1850.”

Moreland, who also chairs MFB Agritourism Committee said the goal for this conference is to network and inspire one another.

That’s the case for Show Me HH Farms owners Kathy and Kent Brown.

“The last [conference] we went to, we had met a lady [who makes soap],” Kathy Brown said. “So now, she puts our sunflower oil in her soap.”

Kent Brown said this conference is a great way to connect with other agribusiness owners.

“We absolutely all tie together,” Kent Brown said.

Mississippi Marketplace owner Linda Studer is another Show Me HH Farms client.

“We have met some really fabulous people here,” Studer said.

Studer said Monday’s tour has been a learning and teaching opportunity. Her shop was one of the stops.

“They’re looking to either enhance their business, grow their business or make things better for them,” Studer said. “So we got to talk a little bit about that.”

Other participants, like new Hannibal business owner, Nikki Barr, said this is a way to boost their own business and branch out.

“It’s kind of a one-way street where you’re constantly running into people,” Barr said. “So I definitely think there will be collaboration in the future and growth for everybody.”

Tuesday is the final day of the Agritourism Conference. Attendees will gather once again for a recap and share ideas on what worked and what didn’t work through their own business experiences.

Here were all the stops on Monday’s tour:

Java Jive (Hannibal)
Mississippi Marketplace (Hannibal)
Langhorne Meats and Provisions (Hannibal)
Blue Skies Farm (Hannibal)
Show Me HH Sunflower Farm (Hannibal)
Peno Creek Pumpkin Patch (Frankford)
Buzzed Aster Apiary (New London)
Double Hearts Ranch (Monroe City)
Sweetwater Distillery (Monroe City)
The Orchard (Hannibal)

Water Safety Tips from Missouri State Highway Patrol – Ozark Radio News

As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.

Date set for Missouri basketball vs Kansas in Border War game

Date set for Missouri basketball vs Kansas in Border War game

The date for the last matchup in the current Border War series is set.

Missouri men’s basketball will face Kansas in the Border War game on Dec. 6 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, according to a post from the Jayhawks’ official X/Twitter account Tuesday. The tipoff time and TV designation for the matchup will be released at a later date.

Kansas released its full nonconference schedule Tuesday, including the sixth and final game against Mizzou on the current competition contract.

The historic rivals have not yet signed a contract to renew the series beyond this season, according to a recent batch of competition contracts obtained by the Tribune through an open records request.

Missouri is yet to announce its nonconference schedule for the 2026-27 season, but there are three other known or reported games for this upcoming season.

Mizzou will face Howard at Mizzou Arena in the last leg of a three-game series, which will take place on a still-to-be-determined date.

The Tigers also have three more neutral-site games on their schedule. The annual Braggin’ Rights matchup against Illinois likely will fall in mid- or late- December at Enterprise Center, and Mizzou has agreed to a Nov. 15 trip to United Center in Chicago to face Marquette. Missouri also reportedly will face Saint Louis on Nov. 6 at Enterprise Center, according to Jon Rothstein at CBS Sports and College Hoops Today.

This season’s Border War matchup will include the first direct transfer between the two schools when Bryson Tiller suits up for Missouri after spending last season, his freshman year, at Kansas.

KU has won four of the five games since the series was renewed in 2021, including an 80-60 win in Kansas City last season. Missouri won the 2024-25 season matchup at Mizzou Arena, but has not beaten Kansas outside of Columbia since 2003.
