MARCH TORNADO AREA! Here we go folks. March is here and with it, the traditional beginning of tornado season. The air is warming up, moisture is on the increase and moving northwards. The winter jet stream is still amped and hanging out south. As these ingredients begin interacting, tornado activity typically increases and expands. March is often known for fast moving weather systems, and can produce widespread tornado outbreaks spanning many states over multiple days. Activity tends to focus on the #Mississippi and #Ohio valley regions, with deep digging troughs that see fast moving frontal boundaries. Dixie Alley also sees a sharp increase in activity as well.

Whether you’re a farmer, investor, or just dreaming of a backyard with room to roam, this trend is changing what it means to own land here.

Mississippi’s sweet potato crisis hits home

Mississippi’s sweet potato fields are in trouble—yields are down as much as 30% this year, and the potatoes are smaller than usual. For families, that means higher prices and fewer sweet potatoes at the store. For local farmers, it’s a tough blow, with many feeling squeezed by drought, late planting, and low prices. Only a fraction of fields have irrigation, and some areas went over 70 days without rain. This isn’t just a Mississippi problem—farmers everywhere are facing unpredictable weather. How do you think we can support our farmers and keep our food supply strong? #Business #Industry #Mississippi
