Northern Mississippi is a land of contrasts. Starkville at its heart is a thriving university town. But, walk just five miles north and the image changes. Many abandoned farm barns and homes dominate the landscape. The soil here is poor. Agriculture seems to be nonexistent. As I walk I reflect on the rich growing lands of the mid-west U.S. and how fortunate a people can be is they are simply blessed with the rich dark, mineral laden, thing we refer to as dirt and, of course, plenty of clean flowing water.
