Farmers of the past relied on plows and mules. Nowadays, modern equipment has made farms more efficient and less labor intensive. But the future isn’t very far away as drones may soon become one of the most versatile pieces of equipment in a farmer’s toolshed. Auburn University’s Dr. Steve Li is on the cutting edge of drone research and implementation, and he shares his insights in this segment.
Plus, we welcome Simply Southern’s past interns Maggie Edwards and Tanner Hood back to the show to help us celebrate 10 seasons!
The Callaway Family built a legacy in west Georgia. While their Callaway Gardens attracts 750,000 people annually, another site established by the family is just as worthy of drawing in thousands upon thousands of tourists. A stop at Hills & Dales Estate in LaGrange, Georgia, can take you through an impressive, 13,000 square foot palatial estate along with acres of exquisite gardens.
Betty Gaines Kennedy will be the first to tell you — she’s not the most patient person in the world. That’s why the talented seamstress never thought she’d become a quilter. It required too much patience. But by age 70, quilting processes had caught up to Betty’s sensibilities. Now at age 89, she’s produced somewhere around 200 quilts. Enjoy meeting this Wilcox County legend!

They have all the flavor of cheese straws and none of the fussiness!
