(AUDIO): Missouri Congressman Alford hopeful about this year’s farm bill

April 11, 2023 By Brian Hauswirth

A west-central Missouri congressman is hopeful Congress passes a good farm bill this year.

Every five years, Congress is expected to pass the “farm bill,” which sets national agriculture, nutrition and conservation policy. U.S. Rep. Mark Alford (R-Raymore) serves on the House Agriculture Committee. His district includes part of Columbia, Centralia, Hallsville and Sedalia.

“We are trying to make sure with the farm bill that we are getting our children fed, that our farmers are secure and that we are good stewards with God’s creation,” Alford says.

Child nutrition has traditionally been a bipartisan issue on Capitol Hill, dating back to the days of former U.S. Sen. Jack Danforth (R) and former U.S. Reps. Jerry Litton (D-Chillicothe), Ike Skelton (D-Lexington) Harold Volkmer (D-Hannibal). Litton, Skelton and Volkmer have since passed away. Congressman Litton died in the 1976 plane crash in Chillicothe, the night he won Missouri’s Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.

Congressman Alford, whose sprawling district includes the Missouri State Fairgrounds, says Missouri farmers feed the world. He spoke to 939 the Eagle at the recent ribbon-cutting for Columbia’s massive Swift Foods plant.

2034 parole hearing set for convicted Columbia killer Lynlee Renick

Convicted Columbia killer Lynlee Renick will have to serve at least 12 more years in prison, before she’s eligible for parole.

Renick is the former Columbia spa owner convicted of second degree murder for the high-profile 2017 death of her husband Ben inside his snake barn near New Florence, a rural town near I-70 in Montgomery County.

State Department of Corrections spokeswoman Karen Pojmann tells 939 the Eagle News that Missouri’s Probation and Parole Board has set December 2034 for Renick’s first parole hearing. Renick is serving her 16-year sentence at the maximum-security prison in northwest Missouri’s Chillicothe.

A&E’s “Taking the Stand” profiled the case Thursday night, in a brand-new episode. The murder scene was so horrific that Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies first thought Ben Renick had been attacked by anacondas.

Lynlee Renick has maintained her innocence, saying Michael Humphrey of Jefferson City killed her husband. Humphrey, who’s serving a life prison sentence for second degree murder, testified against Lynlee Renick at her December 2021 Columbia trial, telling the jury that she killed her husband.
