Panhandle Economic Program outlines workable action plan
Attendees at the Panhandle Economic Program kickoff in Memphis heard a down to earth plan to boost the region’s economy. Led by James Murphrey, the plan estimates up to 725 million dollars in annual Panhandle gains if fully implemented, with the southeast Panhandle poised for a larger share. The program covers water and land conservation, lower costs, new crops and livestock, market development, labor saving devices, and strong financial management, to be carried by county committees and Extension Service partners.
