WASHINGTON, D.C. In mid-November, the U.S. Postal Service announced its 2021 stamps. Among them are several farm-related scenes.
Topping the list is the heritage breed stamp, which gives homage to 10 heritage breeds: the American Mammoth Jackstock donkey, the Narragansett turkey, the Cayuga duck, the San Clemente Island goat, the Mulefoot hog, the Cotton Patch goose, the American Cream draft horse, the Barbados Blackbelly sheep, the Milking Devon cow and the Wyandotte chicken. Heritage animals have versatility, adaptability and unique genetic traits. Greg Breeding served as art director for this stamp.

Corbin may soon be receiving a new post office but when and where it will be built are still unknown.
A letter to Mayor Suzie Razmus, which was dated Nov. 25, is displayed in the lobby of current post office. The letter expresses the intent of the post office to relocate because, “the current Corbin, KY location is no longer cost effective to conduct our ongoing operation.”
The letter further explains the Postal Service continues to experience a net loss as mail volume continues to decline. The Postal Service is self-sufficient and receives no tax dollars for its operating expenses.
“The relocation project will consist of procuring a suitable substitute location, preparing the new location for use as a post office and then transitioning the retail services to the new location,” according to the letter.
