Malta Bend farmer Oliver Marshall talks to landowner Jana Franklin Battson, who along with her sister, Jamie Franklin Nichols, donated an acre of land so farmers could move the end of County Road 424 about a quarter mile up a hill. Previously, the road came out onto Highway 127 in the middle of a hill, which meant semi-trucks turning onto the highway had to be on the wrong side of the road for approximately 200 yards until the trailer cleared the narrow culvert. Several area farmers reported "near misses" at the site. (Marcia Gorrell/Democrat-News)
