WHEREAS, the major land uses of Menfro soils are agriculture and woodland productivity. The main agricultural enterprises grown on Menfro soil are feed grains and forages for livestock, grape vineyards, orchards, and other fruit and vegetable crops; and
WHEREAS, in appreciation for this resource and its value in our economy and environment, the state of Missouri should publicly recognize the importance of soils to our state and encourage educators and other science professionals to teach about soil as a natural resource:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the members of the Senate of the Ninety-first General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the House of Representatives concurring therein, hereby designate "Menfro soil" as the official state soil of Missouri.
