RALEIGH, N.C. — “The 2018 hurricane season had a significant impact on NC farmers. All major crop commodities experienced large drops in production as compared to last year.” said Dee Webb, North Carolina State Statistician. “We know this has been a very stressful season for NC farmers and we want to thank them again for taking time to complete USDA/NASS surveys. Their voice and participation ensured quality data could be published and allowed everyone to better understand the impact of the 2018 hurricane season had on the NC farming industry.”
