At the end of January 2015, KBIA sent reporters to southeast Missouri to open the “Missouri Bootheel” bureau. Their job was to tackle the stories taking place in the towns, fields and health clinics of Missouri’s most productive farmland. What they found were stories that had resonance far beyond this rural area near the divide of the midwest and the upper south.
