Abstract:
North Carolina agriculture, once leading the nation in returns per planted acres, has been hard hit in recent years. But a small, determined group of Eastern North Carolina family farmers has refused to give up their farms. Growing the kenaf plant, eastern North Carolina farmers have found an environmentally-friendly, profitable, fixed-price alternative to commodity crops.
