Mr. Paige, a 4th generation farmer, is keenly aware of the issues that
affect his business, including the economy, culture, climate, and
natural resources unique to Duplin County. “There are large farms
popping up all the time down here, farms where the people who own the
land don’t live here and have others farm it for them. There are poultry
operations being frequently, as well, but the landowners do not
understand the type of land and water we have here,” said Paige. “We’ve
been here, lived here, grew up here and it takes a lot more than being a
huge landowner to be successful...you’ve got to know and care about the
soil, water, and other resources we have to make it work for your farm
and for everyone around you.” |
