Abstract:
The state has a long history of winemaking and at one time was the nation's leader. Now with a Grape Council promoting the wine industry, the state seeks to make a name again as a wine producer. There are fourteen wineries in the state, but three - Biltmore Winery at Asheville, Westbend Vineyards in Lewisville, and Duplin Cellars in Rose Hill - produce 95 percent of the state's wine. Production doubled in the state during the 1990s, rising from 28,954 cases in 1988 to 66,426 cases n 1999.

He didn't plan to own three professional sports teams, but he does - the Greensboro Generals hockey team, the Greensboro Prowlers arena football team, and the Greensboro Thundercats soccer team.

Abstract:
Wendell Murphy, owner of Rose Hill-based Murphy Family Farms, Inc., made hog farming big business in the state. His company was once the nation's top producer, valued at $750 million in 1997. However, overproduction caused prices to fall to the worse level since the Great Depression. Hog lagoon spills were headlined in the press. In 2000, Murphy sold his hog operation to Virginia-based Smithfield Foods, Inc.
