Congressman Alan Nunnelee reminded Yazoo County farmers this week about the importance of agriculture as a business for the state.
Nunnelee shared his message at the second annual Yazoo County Farm Families Appreciation Day breakfast Thursday morning.
Sponsored by Farm Bureau, many Yazoo farmers and their families attended the breakfast to seek answers about the agriculture field’s presence in Washington D.C. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
