CORINTH, Miss. (AP) -- Alcorn County is getting a year-round farmers' market.
 
The board of the Fulton Drive farmers' market, where a covered shed is soon to be constructed, has set up operating rules for the site.
 
The Daily Corinthian reports the decision to move to a 12-month market reflects increasing availability of some crops.
 
The board also established a permit fee of $25 for producers to participate in the market year-round. The board is also requiring producers to be residents of Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss or Tippah counties. Tennessee counties are excluded.
 
At the Shiloh Road market, the fee remains $10.
