According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, more than 90% of counties in the state are experiencing some drought.

Chris Chinn, Director of the Missouri Department of Agriculture said there is one more problem — hay scams. “This is a brand new game that we’ve never seen before in the agriculture industry in Missouri,” said Chinn.

“Because we’re in a drought, there’s not a lot of hay out here,” said Chinn. “The hay scam started this year, coming from the ongoing drought here in Missouri.”

“�鶹apps have made payments through a wire payment system and have never received delivery of that hay,” said Chinn.

Officials with the department said over a dozen farmers have reached out. Chinn said a typical cost for a big round bale is $100 to $125.
Chinn said most of the scams originated from Facebook.

“Most of the people who were calling were so distraught and upset,” she said.

Chinn said if you see this scam, immediately call the police and notify them. She also encourages farmers to go to a bank and get cashier’s checks when buying hay or buy hay from people you know and trust.
