Hannibal, MO

The changing landscape of Missouri.


We found a John Deere mailbox...


...on John Deere Road!


We stopped at a local winery for a few samples
and we made some final decisions and bought
a couple of bottles. I am standing next to
the outdoor wine tree.


Months after the flooding began, the Missouri River
has not returned to its banks.


This is the swollen Missouri River.


Tens of thousands of acres of crops have been
destroyed by the flood waters.


A corn field under water.
Water fowl now hunt where corn and
soy beans once grew.


On higher ground, corn grows and
people hide among the stalks!
