Breaking: Gill to run for Ag Commish

The Flora Harvester has learned that Joel Gill, Mayor of Pickens and two time opponent of Congressman Gregg Harper has filed to run for the job of Mississippi Agriculture Commissioner. Despite living outside of District Three, the Democrat twice ran and lost to Harper before winning the Mayor's office in Pickens.

This brings to four the number of people running for the open post of Ag Commissioner. Current Commissioner Lester Spell has announced he will not seek re-election. Others in the race include State Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, Representative Dannie Reed, and Max Phillips.
