NC's Ag Commissioner Steve Troxler says that in this holiday season, most of our Christmas decorations, as well as our traditional meal will come from within the state of North Carolina.
The Commissioner spends some of his time this time of year reflecting on the year that was, and this year wasn't the easiest year for a lot of farmers, particularly in the eastern part of the state. Tornados, drought and then Hurricane Irene all took their toll on farmers. But, farmers are the eternal optimists, and will certainly be hoping for a brighter 2012.
