AgCarolina Farm Credit is once again teaming with the Carolina Mudcats for Agriculture Night on Friday, June 10th at Five County Stadium. Agriculture Night is highlighted by post-game fireworks and a souvenir t-shirt giveaway for the first 1,000 fans with paid admission to Five County Stadium.

AgCarolina Farm Credit and the Carolina Mudcats are excited for a night of recognizing the efforts and impact of agriculture in North Carolina. Agriculture is the state’s number one industry contributing nearly $93 billion to the economy. North Carolina is recognized across the country and around the world for being a leader in the production of flue-cured tobacco and sweetpotatoes. Chicken, turkey, and hog production are also noted leaders in the livestock industry nationwide. North Carolina farmers produce over 80 different commodities across the state.

“AgCarolina Farm Credit is committed to being the lender of choice for the agricultural and rural communities of eastern North Carolina,” states President and CEO Dave Corum. “AgCarolina will always seek ways in which we can highlight the agricultural industry through partnerships like this one with the Carolina Mudcats. Remember to thank a farmer for the food you eat and the clothes you wear!” To learn more about AgCarolina Farm Credit, visit their website at www.agcarolina.com.
