The 2023 Farm Bill reauthorization is moving along as a divided Congress works to find compromises in order to pass the omnibus bill before its looming deadline of September 30. Since the U.S. House of Representatives is controlled by a Republican majority and the U.S. Senate has a Democratic majority, the negotiations thus far have proved tricky.

Greetings! I am sure many of you have already read some of my articles published in this newspaper, so I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the community so that we may all get to know one another a bit better. I believe this will allow us to develop a rapport so I may become more attuned to the needs and interests of the Herald.

Hello, my name is Benjamin! I was roaming the streets of Union Springs and I saw a nice lady in her car at the Union Springs Herald, she gave me french fries that were so yummy. She was very friendly, so I laid on my back to get belly rubs. She took me to the Bullock County Humane Society to be checked out. She fostered me for a little while, which was nice to have a home for a short time. She had other dogs and cats to play with but what I liked the most was playing with her little boy!
