The fields are painted yellow on a late summer day with blooming weeds in the Fawn Grove community of western Itawamba County.

Bob, You need to go down Hwy. 25 S. or Hwy. 178 through Tremont and get a picture of the sunflower fields that we have planted. They have started blooming and are beautiful. We have about 130 acres scattered around. I wonder if this is the first time a large number of acres have been planted in sunflowers in this county. We are selling them to a company who will use the oil to make biodiesel. Jan Holley

Jan, I have already heard about those beautiful sunflower fields and definitely want to photograph them.
