North Carolina is state with a rich agriculture heritage. While visiting sponsor research farms such as Syngenta and BASF, I got to see the production process of several top cash crops in the state. I found peanut production to be the most interesting!
Tobacco is the number one cash crop in North Carolina. It has been planted in North Carolina since the days of the first settlers.
Cotton is also king in the south. After it has been picked it is bailed, which reminded me of our hayfields in Missouri.
I love peanut butter, so I appreciated the chance to see a peanut field up close! The peanuts are in the shells at the root of the plant.
