We want to hear from you. But time is running out!

Dear , 

Our survey closes in just 48 hours. We're nearing our goal of hearing from 100 people in our audience, but we're not quite there yet.

We want to know what you think about our website, our coverage and how we tell stories from around the basin. It only takes about five minutes to complete, and your answers go directly into decisions we're making right now.

If you've been meaning to fill it out, now's the time.

The Mississippi River Basin Ag & Water Desk is an independent reporting network based at the University of Missouri in partnership with Report for America, with major funding from the Walton Family Foundation. Click here for a map of the basin and our partner newsrooms.
