Pemiscot County, Missouri

Pemiscot County is down in Missouri’s Bootheel. It’s flat as a pool table and just as green in summer. Cotton fields stretch to the horizon.
The Mississippi River forms the eastern border, its muddy waters carrying barges day and night. Caruthersville, the county seat, offers a piece of small-town life with a side of riverboat gambling. Farmers here know their stuff. The soil’s so rich in this area.
Floods have come and gone, shaping both the land and its people. There’s a toughness to folks in Pemiscot. They’ve seen hard times but always bounce back. Southern hospitality meets Midwestern work ethic in this unique corner of Missouri.
