Farm to market roads urged over cross country routes
A Tribune editorial argues for prioritizing farm to market roads over cross country highways. It cites impassable rural lanes near Scandia and says farm roads cost less overall, improve farmers' market access, and reduce distribution costs. The piece calls for a ten year plan to connect every Republic County farmer to market centers and warns current taxes favor tourists over rural needs. It also tosses in brief notes on sediment the Missouri River carries and a divorce suit of the author of Singing in the Bathtub, plus a quip about stagecoaches and revolving doors.
