Mississippi Strawberries

Wal-Mart's infamous international distribution system can handle local produce too:

A Pine Belt produce farm is teaming up with Wal-Mart to promote Mississippi strawberries.

Commissioner of Agriculture Lester Spell launched the event Thursday along with representatives from Wal-Mart and Eubanks Produce Farm.

It is the first large-scale promotion for Mississippi-grown strawberries in Wal-Mart stores. The product, labeled "Make Mine Mississippi," will be showcased as customers enter the stores.
