Marion County farmer George Ferguson says the Taylor road is in hopeless condition. He traveled from four miles south of Tay lor to Quincy to buy parts for a broken binder, facing deep mud holes and loose rocks that slowed a 20 mile Missouri route to Quincy, delaying harvest and raising costs. He criticizes locals and merchants for permitting such roads and contrasts with smoother routes to Hannibal.
