Abstract:

North Carolina’s planted cotton acreage is at the highest level since 1937. While the rise in production is credited in part to improved marketing and promotion, the cotton textile industry is migrating overseas. Wes Morgan, owner of Rolling Hills Gin in Stanly County, discusses his business, and the history and future of the state’s cotton industry.
