Golf in Metcalfe

Metcalfe is a small Washington County Delta community near Greenville, part of the flat agricultural landscape of one of Mississippi's most productive farming regions. The Delta's flat horizon and the scale of its agricultural operations create a landscape of uncommon immensity, where cotton and soybean fields extend to the horizon in every direction. Metcalfe's small size is characteristic of the Delta's small communities, which have contracted as agricultural mechanization has reduced the labor force while farm sizes have grown. The small community's persistence reflects the commitment of remaining residents to agricultural heritage and community institutions in a Delta landscape reshaped by mechanization and out-migration.
