Â Apparently (and if you have ever been there, not surprisingly) Daviess County has more miles of gravel road than any other Indiana county. Â And the growing area finds itself in a dilemma: spend money to pave the roads and they quickly get damaged by horse hooves on the road. Â Don't spend money to pave them and everyone with cars has to drive around on dusty, gravel-topped, rutted roads. Â Click here to read an excellent article that really makes clear the issues.
