This Month’s Issue: NC Agriculture

This month we’re spending some time with North Carolina’s storied Mountain Region, rounding out this year’s regional series (having focused on the Coast in June and Piedmont in August). Wherever you find yourself in NC, rest assured that you’re never far from one of North Carolina’s electric co-ops, which serve a combined 1 million homes and businesses.
