Researching - Trying to figure out if there is a Missouri product(s) that could realistically and effectively be boycotted all across the country . . . Not an overnight way to make an impact, but could be an effective one. (Social media could cause any good idea to explode in a matter of hours) Anybody got any ideas? Missouri is a leading producer of transportation equipment (including automobile manufacturing and auto parts), beer and beverages, and defense and aerospace technology. Food processing is the states fastest-growing industry. Missouri mines produce 90% of the nations principal (non-recycled) lead supply. Other natural resources include iron ore, zinc, barite, limestone, and timber. The states top agricultural products include grain, sorghum, hay, corn, soybeans, and rice. Missouri also ranks high among the states in cattle and calves, hogs, and turkeys and broilers. A vibrant wine industry also contributes to the economy. Tourism draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to a number of Missouri points of interest: the country-music shows of Branson; Bass Pro Shops national headquarters (Springfield); the Gateway Arch at the Jefferson National Expansion (St. Louis); Mark Twains boyhood home (Hannibal); the Harry S. Truman home and library (Independence); the scenic beauty of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways; and the Pony Express and Jesse James museums (St. Joseph). The states different lake regions also attract fishermen and sun-seekers from throughout the Midwest.
