Abstract:
Elias Carr was a renaissance man in North Carolina during the 19th century in which he was a prosperous planter, agricultural political leader, democrat and Governor of North Carolina. During this period, he also kept an estate in Edgecombe County, Bracebridge Hall, which maintained a flourishing environment before and after the Civil War. Carr was able to maintain this prosperity by avoiding common pitfalls of the time such as one-crop farming, sharecropping, labor unrest, and financial failure by diversifying his farming operations, paying employed workers good wages, partaking in fair labor practices and using modern farming techniques.

Abstract:
During the Antebellum Period, mountain farmers in the Appalachian region of Ashe County lived in a fairly isolated area but took part in the growing market economy on an increasingly regular basis. While large-scale farmers grew the majority of commercial crops, most mountain farmers traded and sold their surplus crops to local and regional markets. In the 1850s, these mountain farmers cultivated more of their land for commercial crops in response to population growth while still maintaining diversity and self-sufficiency.

Abstract:
In early 2015, the bird flu migrated from Asia to the United States, infecting birds in 15 states. In response to the potential arrival of the disease on the East Coast, The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services passed a mandate requiring all poultry owners to register for an NCFarmID number, which the agency will use to track the spread of bird flu and warn owners of nearby threats to their birds. Many backyard chicken owners fear this regulation of their bird owning and what this means for their birds.
