Local seed company marks major milestone this month

Local agricultural supply business, Adams-Briscoe Seed Company, celebrated its 80th anniversary and three generations of Adams family ownership on Nov. 6. The company’s story began in 1946, when Rufus Adams and Everett Briscoe bought a seed business in Jackson from the Carmichael brothers. With backgrounds in agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they built a business grounded in knowledge, experience and a commitment to helping customers find the right products for their farms, homes and land. The family business expanded in 1953 when Rufus Adams encouraged his brother, J.B. Adams, to open a second location in Forsyth. J.B. and his wife, Emmie, operated the store together until his death in 1967. Emmie continued running the store until 2003. That same year, ownership of the Jackson business passed to Rufus’ nephew, Jimmy Adams. He and his son Greg Adams continue to lead the company today. The business thanks everyone who has been a part of their journey. “We’re proud of our roots, grateful for the generations of customers who have trusted us and ready for whatever grows next,” said Jimmy Adams.

Harris County wants 3,840 acres to be industrial. Public exposes it's for data centers

In late July, the Harris County Board of Commissioners started the process of amending its comprehensive plan to add three new industrial areas in the county. But during the first of two public meetings Oct. 20 , commissioners were met with anger and fear from residents concerned the proposal could allow the development of a hyperscale data center. On Nov 17, the public will have a chance to meet with commissioners again to express their opinions about this proposed amendment. The compressive plan, which was passed in July 2024 , is meant to last until 2029, but the commissioners are making the case that there needs to be zoning amendments to industrial (M-1, light manufacturing) to diversify the tax base and attract industry. “We have been concerned about diversifying our tax base,” commission chairwoman Susan Andrews (District 5) said at the Oct. 20 meeting. “For the last 30 years it’s been a topic of conversation.
