Salt Mines & High Plains Today’s match-up brings us to the "Free State of Van Zandt" in East Texas and the far reaches of the northwest Panhandle. Van Zandt County is known for its salt mines, the famous First Monday Trade Days in Canton, and a spirit of independence. Hartley County, on the New Mexico border, is a wide-open landscape of cattle, corn, and dairy. One is a hub of commerce and minerals; the other is a pillar of agriculture and wide horizons.
Trade Days vs. Cattle Drives. One sells the goods; the other grows them. Forward is for both.
