Repairs slow on dikes damaged last summer
In Missouri and surrounding states, levee repairs lag nine months after the Flood of 1993. Farmer Glen Beckmeyer warns he may lose income if windfalls and planting are delayed while the Army Corps of Engineers and Soil Conservation Service manage a massive, $219 million effort. Bureaucratic delays, weather, and prioritization hinder progress as many fear land values, tourism, and business will suffer without restored flood protection.
