Abstract:
Although industrial and manufacturing expansion have been heralded as North Carolina's economic driver, agriculture will continue to be one of the most important industries and businesses for the state. For example, recent industrial expansions have related to and been dependent on agriculture, such as investments in dairy plants, meat packing payroll, increased mixed feed volume, petroleum purchases, and freight revenue. North Carolina farmers sold three quarters of a billion dollars in crops and livestock, led all other states in value of farm commodities and products, and led in retail and processing. North Carolina also leads in training and agricultural research.
