Great River Road - Mississippi
Mississippi Delta, MS

Drive along the Mississippi River to Rosedale, MS. Your drive will take through long stretches of remote farm lands. The farms of today are thousands of acres in size and utilize massive equipment that requires very few employees. Cotton was once king of the Mississippi Delta crops but in the past few years corn for ethanol production has become a major crop of the region. You will see cotton gins (operating in the fall) and grain storage bins all along the route. Don't miss the history of Blues, a quintessential element of the Mississippi Delta.
