Welcome to Yanceyville, North Carolina, "Tradition with Vision!" Yanceyville is located in the Piedmont Triad Region and is the county seat of Caswell County.  The town was founded in 1792 and was named Yanceyville when it was incorporated in 1833.  With no railway, waterway, or any other defining feature to attract commerce, Yanceyville has struggled to remain a town throughout most of it's existence.  It's position as the county seat has been attributed to the town's survival.  The town's economy relied largely on the tobacco industry, which has taken a downturn with decreasing demand for the product.  The town still holds the Bright Leaf Hoedown annually in September.  It is a one day festival featuring live entertainment, food trucks, bounce houses, and more.  The festival with be held September 23rd this year.  The town also has a number of historical attractions including the Caswell County Courthouse, the Historic Caswell County Jail, and the Old Poteat School one room school house.  We hope you enjoy our visit to Yanceyville!

In 1968, at the age of 75, a tobacco farmer decided to build a miniature stone village with rocks he mined himself from his own property. What followed was a magical mini-town featuring 27 buildings complete with tiny inhabitants that you can see if you look closely. In this episode, WRAL’s Hidden History Reporter Heather Leah takes us to one of North Carolina’s seven wonders—Shangri-La, a magical place in Caswell County. She shares what’s behind it and how you too can experience the sacred beauty.

Recorded history of the Chubb family in North America dates back to 1775. Nicholas Chubb, the oldest known ancestor, is listed as a free colored male, head of a household on the 1820 census of Caswell County, North Carolina. John Henry Chubb, along with his wife, daughter and eight sons were originally in North Carolina. Kenneth Jones, another descendent of the Chubbtown founders, researched the family's history and found that the 1830 census listed Chubbs living as free blacks in North Carolina. The Chubbs and other free blacks journeyed to Georgia and settled near a creek in the northwest corner of the state sometime between 1850 and 1864.According to records of Floyd County, where Chubbtown is located, Henry Chub (spelled with one b), one of the original eight sons, purchased 120 acres for $900 in 1864, before the end of the Civil War.The settlement grew to include a church, school, post office, meeting hall and a lodge. It also had businesses such as a saw mill, cotton gin, wagon company, blacksmith, grist mill, syrup mill and a company that made caskets. The settlers farmed the land and were self-sufficient.During the Post-Reconstruction period the Chubb brothers continued purchasing real estate to become the self-sufficient community known as Chubbtown. The Chubb family remained and prospered in Floyd County, Georgia, while many southern blacks were seeking prosperity in the north. The town was spared destruction by the Union Army during the Civil War.[5] The family's prosperity declined after 1916 when a devastating flood destroyed  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week on the Hemp Podcast, Lancaster Farming talks to farmers around the country and the world about spring planting — what they've got in the ground, how much hemp they're growing this year, what conditions are like in the field, and more. We talk to several Pennsylvania farmers, as well as folks in Missouri, Kansas, North Carolina, Michigan and more, including an exclusive interview with Roman Fedorowycz, an American farmer who's been living and farming in Ukraine for over 30 years. He runs a 5,000-acre farm in the western part of the country, where he usually grows various grains and vegetables, and, of course, hemp. But things are a little different this year. Fedorowycz talks about the atrocities committed by the Russian army and how that's affecting agriculture in Ukraine, considered to be one of the breadbaskets of the world. “This year, we have a number of issues,” he said. “Number one, since the ports are blocked and Ukraine is one of the biggest exporters...of corn, soybeans, sunflower oil and things like that, we can't get our products to go out of the main ports in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov because of the Russian blockade. “The other issue is that where the fighting is going on in the south, the east and the northeast, obviously there's no spring planting going on and there'll be no harvest going on. “And on top of that, many regions west of Kiev and north of Kiev and east of Kiev were mined by the Russians when they were pushed out. I have many friends who have thousands and thousands of acres that they have to be de-mined or remove unexploded artillery and other things out of their fields. So many of those farmers are not planting this year,” Fedorowycz said. This week's guests include: Eric Trajtenberg from Paradise Hemp Farm in West Grove Pennsylvania where he's a growing small batch CBD. https://www.paradisehempfarm.com/ & https://pahemplawyer.com/ Mike Murray from Moka Hemp in Burlington, Pennsylvania, where they focus on smokable CBD flower. https://www.mokahemp.com/ Rusty Peterson with Essen Atlas and Align Agro in Michigan, where they're growing fiber varieties. https://www.alignagro.com/ Victor-Alan Weeks from 404 Twenty in Caswell County, North Carolina, where he and his business Partner Jalen Madden are focused on CBD production. Jeff Limbaugh from Midwest Natural Fiber in Sikeston, Missouri, where they're growing hundreds of acres of fiber hemp and other crops. https://www.midwestnaturalfiber.com/ Aaron Baldwin from South Bend Industrial Hemp in South Bend Kansas, where they're working with a network of farmers to grow several thousand acres of dual crop fiber & grain. https://www.southbendindustrialhemp.com/ Roman Fedorowycz from Ukr Hemp Seeds in Ukraine who tells us about the atrocities of Russia's war on Ukraine and how that's affecting spring planting there. http://ukrhempseed.online/ Raphael Cutrufello from Hezekiah Jones in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. http://www.hezekiahjones.com/ Steve Groff from Cedar Meadow Farm in Holtwood, PA, where's got fiber, grain and CBD varieties. https://cedarmeadow.farm/ Dale Norely from Tasunka Farm Organics in Birchrunville, PA, where this year she grew smokable flower in the greenhouse over winter and wholesale seedlings this spring. Right now they are doing maintenance on their fields and will be planting outdoors again next year.

Lesie, Scott, and Phil, are all members of Protect Caswell, a chapter of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League that is dedicated to help protect and preserve rights in Caswell County, NC. They are fighting Carolina Sunrock, LLC, a company that plans to run three large hot mix asphalt plants producing over two and a half million tons of asphalt per year, plus three truck mix cement plants, two stone crushers, and three power generators at three separate sites within 10 miles of each other in their community of Caswell County, NC. Asphalt plants are sources of air pollution that may emit significant levels of both particulate matter and gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants are considered to be dangerous to human health. One action that the Protect Caswell Chapter has made is a formal request to the Board of Commissioners for a comprehensive review of existing and proposed paving industry permits in the Prospect Hill and Anderson communities. They said "We submit to you this request for a multiple source review. We believe the draft permits are fatally flawed because they fail to protect public health." She concluded, "We just want all these smokestacks looked at together because they all emit toxic air pollution." With Leslie, Scott, and Phil, we discuss how they got started as a chapter, how they informed their county commissioners about theses industries coming in, actions they are taking, flaws they found in the asphalt plants permits, and how others can help.
