Farmersville contains what some folks believe is a priceless natural resource that needs the community’s attention and a good bit of tender, loving care, according to Mayor Bryon Wiebold, who intends to spare no effort to preserve it for future generations.

However, according to Wiebold, Farmersville “has some of the most expansive black lands prairie grass anywhere.”
