Floyd County Poised for Prosperous Year Driven by Rail and Mills
Reporter Ray Guthrie Lockney notes Floyd County faces a bright year with diversified farming, strong bank deposits, new manufacturing, and a cotton oil mill plus a mixed feed plant. Rail links via Fort Worth & Denver South Plains and Quanah, Acme & Pacific boost trade while a $27,000 water extension improves supply. Hard surfacing the Lee highway, irrigation gains, and growing poultry, dairy, hog industries underpin expected prosperity.
