Outdoor recreation is more than just fun in Missouri. It's a major economic driver.

In 2024, outdoor recreation contributed $10.67 billion to Missouri's economy and supported 90,600 jobs across industries including retail, manufacturing, hospitality and tourism. Missouri stands out nationally for its strong hunting economy, ranking among the top states for hunting participation and related spending.

Missouri's state parks also play an important role. Nearly 20 million visitors each year support local restaurants, shops, lodging and outdoor businesses. Visitor and household spending related to state parks is estimated to support 11,900 jobs and contribute $883 million to Missouri's GDP in 2025.

Labor Day marks the unofficial transition from summer to fall in the garden, making now the perfect time to start preparing for the next season. MU Extension horticulturist David Trinklein recommends focusing on a few key tasks to keep your garden productive and healthy.

◾Harvest late-season vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and squash.
◾Plant cool-season favorites like lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli and radishes.
◾Divide overcrowded perennials, including hostas, irises and daylilies.
◾Seed or overseed cool-season lawns and fertilize established turf.
◾Begin fall cleanup by removing dead plant material that can harbor pests and diseases.

A little effort now can help set the stage for a healthier garden and landscape next spring.

A new soybean pest has been confirmed in Missouri for the second time.

MU Extension state crops entomologist Ivair Valmorbida confirmed the latest finding of the soybean tentiform leafminer in Macon County on Aug. 19. First detected in Missouri in 2025, this emerging pest feeds inside soybean leaves, creating distinctive "mines" that can reduce leaf area.

Farmers are encouraged to scout soybean fields, especially along field edges near wooded areas, and contact their local MU Extension agronomist if they suspect soybean tentiform leafminer activity. Researchers are continuing to study the insect's distribution and potential impact on soybean production.

Would Zoe's college experience be the same without 4-H?

As a nursing student, Zoe says Missouri 4-H helped her build the confidence, communication and leadership skills she relies on today. The experiences she gained through 4-H helped prepare her for college and gave her a strong foundation for success.

Her story is just one example of how Missouri 4-H helps young people grow through hands-on learning, leadership opportunities and service experiences that build skills for college, careers and life.
