Abstract:
According to the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service, the drought affecting the Piedmont and Mountain regions of the state came at one of the worst times possible for agriculture. As early crops in July struggled to survive and bear, later plantings of soybeans and sorghum were having trouble germinating. The drought’s impacts are also affecting cattle and poultry producers.
