| Abstract/Contents: | "As the water receded and residents of the devastated Mississippi and Missouri basins began to put their lives back together, it was obvious that the Great Flood of 1993 was destined to live in infamy well into the next century. Ed Keeven, who planted 20 acres of buffalo grass at his Emerald View Turf Farm in O'Fallon, Mo., said the grass hunkered down and survived under water for five weeks. The bluish green, fine leafed grass is the only variety of native American grass used as home grass. Rich Hoorman, agronomy specialist with the University of Missouri extension service, predicted that it will be late next summer before grass crops ruined or severely damaged this year will be replaced." |
