Agriculture & Food: Field Crops Durham County was built on tobacco. But for many years now, tobacco has been declining and the farm families that have relied on it for their livelihoods have been forced to consider alternatives. In addition, population and development pressures threaten what farmland remains. Today's farmers are faced with tough choices. Those who wish to remain in farming may want to consider alternative enterprises, such as medicinal herbs, fresh market produce, agri-tourism, or wine-grape production. Our staff stands ready to assist with advice and resources. For more information, call 919-560-0525.
