Jim Ned Valley the place to be!!!

There is NO better place to be than Texas in the Springtime!
The blue of the Texas skies is reflected on our hills and roadsides!
Butterflies and birds fill the air with color of their own.
Some say their display could be surpassed by the brilliance of the sun's rising over the wide open spaces characterising the beautiful central location of our Jim Ned Valley!
Come Fall, around the end of September or early October, the monarchs make their yearly trek through our hillsides. In our majestic old red oaks, they find resting places for their migration.Supplying the nation and even the world, tractors in tandem designate the seasonal changes supporting our diverse Texas crop rotation.
The Jim Ned Valley area of Texas is the place to be! God's hands touch this area with peace, prosperity and wonderful Texas PEOPLE!
