Missouri’s agriculture director says State Sen. Jason Bean’s (R-Peach Orchard) roots might run deep in the Missouri Bootheel, but describes Bean as a true friend to all of Missouri agriculture.
Missouri Senate Agriculture Committee chair Bean has been honored by Mizzou’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) as alumnus of the year. Senator Bean, who lives in southeast Missouri’s Peach Orchard, graduated from Mizzou in Columbia, majoring in agronomy and minoring in animal science.
Chairman Bean praises Mizzou and CAFNR, saying they gave him the tools to succeed in agriculture.
State Department of Agriculture director Chris Chinn praises Chairman Bean, telling 939 the Eagle that “as a farmer and agribusinessman himself, Senator Bean understands the challenges of raising a crop and operating a small business. I value his leadership in the Senate and his friendship. I can think of nobody more deserving of this award.”
