Like a lot of farm kids in North Carolina, Charlie Cahoon went to Raleigh to study agriculture at North Carolina State University after high school graduation. While at North Carolina State, he took classes from well-known faculty in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, and he is now a member. Cahoon grew up on a farm near Swan Quarter (Hyde County), in the Blacklands of eastern North Carolina.
