Nov. 15-19 was our celebration of Farm-City Week in Rowan County. All week long, Cooperative Extension posted videos on our Facebook page on Rowan County Agriculture and how it impacts the daily lives of our citizens. North Carolina Agriculture serves you three times a day. Rowan County is home to 925 farms with an average size of 129 acres, and 97% are family-owned and run.
Surprisingly, when we looked back at the Agricultural Census of 1992, Rowan County had 751 farms with an average size of 140 acres.
