Additionally we will also see that the grass on the side of the road will be cut,&#8221; he pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>He said farmers are looking forward to the completion of the project. &#8220;Farmers in the area are very excited about the project because it has been one that they have been waiting on for a very long time,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Fourteen people are currently employed on the access road and it should be completed within the next two months, weather permitting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Farmers of Wet Area in Belles will soon have a much improved farm\u00a0 road which will significantly impact their business. 500 feet of road is currently being constructed in the area at a cost of over $200,000 provided by the&#8230;","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-agriculture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
