Urges U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to re-examine flood control operations for Missouri and Mississippi rivers following 2011 spring and summer flooding caused by unprecedented upstream water releases and intentional breaching of Birds Point levee in southeast Missouri

Documents economic losses of $60.6 million in southeast Missouri agricultural production due to flooding of 130,000 acres, including 100% of Missouri's cotton, 99.6% of rice, 52.9% of wheat, 21.4% of grain sorghum, 18.1% of soybeans, and 15.4% of corn production

Calls on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to manage rivers to avoid future devastating flooding disasters and rebuild damaged levees to at least their previous heights as quickly as possible

Encourages Missouri communities, families, and stakeholders to work together restoring damaged agricultural lands to preserve their productive value

Instructs Missouri House Chief Clerk to send inscribed copy of resolution to Secretary of U.S. Army and Missouri Congressional delegation to encourage their support for Missouri River management policies that minimize devastating flood events
