Burlington, IA | Don't know what it brought, but you have to be careful when considering ground in MO. With the exception of river bottom or creek bottom ground, most of northern MO is underlaid with a layer of claypan. They generally raise their best crops in an average to slightly above average year, moisture-wise. The problem is that moisture can't go down and get away in a wet year, and moisture can't work up in a dry year. So appearances can be deceiving. Mo has some great topsoils, but the problem is underneath. The non-local buyer just needs to beware. Not jmho, Mo soil maps reflect what I'm saying concerning their soils. Not trying to run down MO either, I do work with clients there.
Fwiw,
