Does anybody know what kind of spider this is?

That pic is only slightly larger than real life, btw. Spider is a good
2" across.

He's camped in the middle of my brussels sprouts. Got a big web about a
foot and a half across. Looks like he's been eating well. My garden is
in Missouri, near Kansas City.

doubt this guy (or gal) is what's been eating your brussels sprount, though.
Spiders typically eat other "bad" insects.
