Western Wildfires Have No Effect on Christmas Trees

Posted on Posted in NC Ag Commissioner Steve Troxler, Other Ag News, Top Ag Headlines Tagged with ,

North Carolina’s Ag Commissioner Steve Troxler says that the wildfires in western North Carolina are close to being contained, and if the rains come today and tomorrow as forecasted, that should put a large dent in those that remain.

There have been lots of questions about the effects the fires may have had on the state’s Christmas tree industry, and while one fire did come close in Ashe County, Troxler says no Christmas trees were affected by the fires.
