For some Missouri seniors, this program is one of the few times each year they can access fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Through a partnership between MU Extension and the Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program supports healthy aging, improves nutrition and strengthens local food systems.
Since 2020, MU Extension in the Urban West region has partnered with 40 Kansas City-area organizations to distribute more than $155,000 in benefits to eligible seniors. The program supports local farmers and helps improve the health and well-being of Missourians.

Frequent rain and cooler-than-normal temperatures this spring are creating ideal conditions for tar spot in Missouri cornfields.
The disease has shown up in June in recent years and is expected again in 2026, so early scouting and continued monitoring are key.
Tar spot, caused by a fungus that survives in crop residue, appears as small, raised black spots on leaves and can spread quickly under favorable conditions. While it can impact yield, MU Extension plant pathologists say there’s no need to panic.
Finding the disease in June doesn't automatically mean a fungicide application is needed. Continue monitoring how quickly it spreads, where symptoms are appearing in the canopy, disease severity and upcoming weather conditions before making management decisions.
