Ag Commish Andy Gipson issued the following statement.
The
Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce (MDAC) will
distribute 1,400 dairy boxes to the public at the Mississippi State
Fairgrounds in Jackson, on Friday, August 7, at 9:00
a.m. as part of the Farmers to Families Food Box Program.
“The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce is honored to be
a part of the Farmers to Families Food Box Program. Last month, the
Department distributed 1,400 produce boxes and 1,400 gallons of milk to
the public. We will be continuing our efforts
to assist the public during this time of need with additional food box
distributions in September and October. This program has been beneficial
to our farmers, distributors and everyday citizens,” said Mississippi
Agriculture and Commerce Commissioner Andy
Gipson.
Merchants Foodservice of Hattiesburg, Miss., will provide the 1,400
dairy boxes containing yogurt, cheese, butter and milk. The Dairy
Alliance and Borden Dairy are donating an additional 2,200 gallons of
milk, and Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. of Jackson is donating
42,000 eggs. Those receiving a dairy food box will also receive two
gallons of milk and 2 ½ dozen eggs.
The public can start arriving at 9:00 a.m. and must remain in their
vehicles with the windows up. MDAC volunteers will wear masks and gloves
at all times and when instructed, the public will be allowed to open
their car trunks for placement of their dairy box.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) created the Farmers
to Families Food Box Program under the Coronavirus Food Assistance
Program (CFAP). Through this, the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service
partners with national, regional and local suppliers,
whose workforce has been significantly impacted by the closure of
restaurants, hotels and other food service businesses, to purchase up to
$3 billion in fresh produce, dairy and meat products. Suppliers then
package these products into family-sized boxes and
transport them to food banks, community and faith-based organizations
and other non-profits serving Americans in need.
The Mississippi State Fairgrounds is located at 1207 Mississippi Street,
Jackson, MS 39202. The public must enter through Gate 1 on Jefferson
Street and exit through Gate 6 on Greymont Street. Visit
www.ams.usda.gov to learn
more about the Farmers to Families Food Box Program.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee?

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Enjoy it while you can.You may not have the opportunity in a few years .
Looks like another attraction to help with the spread of the pandemic
Here's my bet - at least 1/3 of that food will never be consumed. People will flock to the site to get it because it's "free". It will be taken home and placed on a table and sit there til it ruins.
Reminds me of a "Nacho Cheese" Joke.
Get it? Not Your Cheese.
Man, Free Food.
State unemployment money.
Federal Unemployment money.
No evictions.
Life is good during a pandemic.
So I guess working people barely making ends meet are out of luck
We can afford to buy food but I know people who are struggling. I'll get the word out to them about this opportunity.
And I doubt people who are hungry or broke will waste the dairy products. There is always some miserable, negative jerk popping up here to denigrate everything.
9:04 needs to take a break.
If you observed the line of cars, you would notice the very nice cars, i.e. not indicative of poor people. Ultimately it's all free shit from the left to pander for votes. Great society!
Give him a fish...
I guess it's good that some struggling families will get some nutritious food unlike the crap they get through their EBT cards. but lets not kid ourselves. This is nothing but a welfare program administered through the MDAC for farmers. So all the conservative, government hating cowboys out there can just turn a blind eye.
No thanks. I'll be at Whole Foods instead.
I've been needing to go to Walmart for about 3 months. I think I will go during the time this event is happening. Walmart should be deserted.
The USDA's give away of non perishable commodities to the poor was seemed quite effective but grocery retailers didn't like it so Kroger, etc., lobbied and successfully got the FOOD STAMPS program enacted.
For a few like myself who saw the monthly allotments of powdered milk, margarine, dried peas and beans, flour, corn meal, etc. going to those who knew how to cook 'real food' and appreciated it, the advent of FOOD STAMPS seemed to be a political payoff similar to EIC checks and free cell phones. And of course there's the Medicare subsidies that gives the insurance companies a piece of FICA tax dollars. Ain't if funny how taking care of the needy is always so profitable to wealthy corporations that fund politicians.
just drove by on the way to work. Guy in a Range Rover in the line up!!
