Representative - Paul Andre

What is now the Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) was established in the mid-1800s to represent the diverse interests of the state’s vast agricultural industry. The department has the dual responsibility of protecting the state’s producers, processors, distributors, and consumers of agricultural commodities, while marketing Missouri products at home and abroad.

To view a functional directory of MDA’s responsibilities visit their Main Web Page.

Within the Pesticide Program in the Plant Industries Division is the Water Quality Program.  This program is responsible for developing Pesticide Management Plans (PMP) that are designed to manage the use of certain pesticides to protect water resources.

Financing for animal waste treatment systems is available through two programs offered by the Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Development Authority. The Animal Waste Treatment System Loan Program offers low interest direct loans. The Single-Purpose Animal Facilities Loan Guarantee Program provides lenders with a partial loan guarantee on livestock operations including waste treatment facilities.
