AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Food Safety & Consumer Impact: Missouri and the nation are still sorting through the cyclospora outbreak tied to Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce, after the FDA said an earlier positive test was a “false positive,” leaving recalls and case counts in flux. Local Business & Infrastructure: Joplin City Council moved ahead with a privately funded fiber-optic network, approving right-of-way steps and budgeting for related airport, road, software and engineering work. Energy & City Planning: Columbia approved a 2026 Renewable Energy Plan that falls short of a 25% target (23.5% expected) while mapping a higher renewable share by 2035, with rate impacts capped for the utility department. Agriculture & Markets: USDA’s late-June acreage and grain stocks updates, followed by the July 10 WASDE report, are expected to steer corn and soybean pricing through harvest. Politics & Oversight: Missouri’s small-business and postal-service issues stayed in the spotlight, including a Hawley expansion of USPS oversight tied to outside consulting. Business Operations: A sudden closure of the Branson Tri-Lakes newspaper is forcing Stone County officials to scramble for legal-notice publishing options.
