There's only a handful of fish that people will alter the way they live just to catch. Tarpon are one of those fish. When you picture tarpon fishing, you're probably imagining some guy fly fishing from a flats boat in the Bahamas. But there's another very different type of tarpon fishing in a very different place, Pamlico Sound, North Carolina. Pamlico Sound is the second largest estuary in the U.S. with a fascinating pirate history. The tarpon there are enormous and catching them is a totally unique skill set to other tarpon fisheries. Here to share his fishing knowledge, is my good friend Gene Wooster. Gene has won more tarpon competitions in North Carolina than anyone either of us know, and after hearing from him, you'll be booking a trip to Pamlico.

Welcome back to another episode of Fishereis Gone Wild, hosted by CCA NC Executive Director David Sneed. This episode dives into the upcoming Marine Fisheries Commision meeting November 16-18, 2022. The MFC will be voting on Amendment 2 to the Estuarine Striped Bass FMP. Within this plan, the commision will vote to either continue the gill net ban on the Neuse, Tar and Pamlico rivers above the ferry lines or vote to allow the nets back in the water. This gill net ban has been in place to protect the Striped Bass and allow the species to reach a sustainable spawning biomass to continue to rebuild the population. This upcoming MFC meeting November 16-18 is by far one of the most important meetings and we need your voice to show up and speak for the resource more than ever!!!  Tight Lines!

Dr. Rob Sands is the co-founder of the Pamlico Rose Institute in Washington, NC which advances wellness programs for female Veterans. Pamlico focuses on connecting mind, body, spirit, and community through meaningful/persistent attention to nutrition, exercise, health, and spirituality and build resilience to help in reintegration. Reintegration is more challenging for female Veterans due to: · conflicting roles and identity of mother, partner, and Veteran; · single parenting; · absence of support network and/or not self-identifying, · access to the VA difficult due to many factors. Building a strong foundation of wellness and resilience can help female Veterans overcome the effects of trauma and an uncertain future. Pamlico Rose promotes a holistic approach to wellness, Total Life Fitness (TLF), that builds a strong foundation of living fit and helping one move through the reintegration experience. Building resilience to adversity, TLF encourages an individual through mind, body, spirit and healthy relationships to focus on one’s whole self. TLF programs include residential living, the arts, nutrition, gardening, connecting with nature, yoga, and other activities and will be offered at their Rose Haven Center of Healing in Washington, NC. Rose Haven includes a soon to be completed (Summer of 2020) rehabilitated 1892 farmhouse as a reintegration home, its adjacent historic barn as a multipurpose support facility, and a healing landscape that includes meditation and produce gardens. The Center covers ½ neighborhood block in Washington, NC’s historic district.

Welcome to the Leading Voices in Food podcast, an educational series produced by the World Food Policy Center at Duke University. I'm Deborah Hill. You're listening to a segment in our voice of farming series. Driving along the North Carolina coastline protected by the Outer Banks barrier islands, I pass swamps, canals and fields. I'm visiting an agricultural region called the Blacklands. Originally a cypress tree swamp, this area is rich in organic matter. Black land farmers grow corn, soybeans and wheat, potatoes, and a wide range of vegetables from onions to cucumbers to green beans. The soil is black and fertile and the black lands range across eight counties including Beaufort, Washington, Hyde, Tyrrell, Dare, Pasquotank, Carteret, and Pamlico counties. I'm visiting Middlecreek Farms, a family operation in Engelhard, North Carolina, now run by Dawson and Bethany Pugh. The day's plan to begin harvesting corn has been scrapped in the aftermath of a heavy rain and the farm crew works in the shop making repairs and doing equipment maintenance. I'm Dawson Pugh from Engelhard, North Carolina. My wife Bethany and I have four kids and we own and operate Middlecreek Farms. It's a family farm that is a fourth generation farm. I grew up here on the farm and that's all I've ever wanted to do. I mean, if you, if anybody ever asked me what I wanted to do, I wanted to farm and was able to come back to the farm in 1997 and I worked with my dad until 2003 and he decided that after the hurricanes in 2003 that he wanted to get out of it. So he told me that he would sell me the equipment and rent me the land, but he didn't want to farm anymore. So, then 2004 we, Bethany and I were able to start farming on our own, which was not how we thought that we would end up farming. We knew that, already hoped that one day we could take care of the farm, but I had no idea that my daddy would want to retire it so early. We're truly a family farm. Also, we have our office located on the property. It's an old farm house that we converted into our office. Along with the desk and a computer, you'll find a lot of toy tractors and a baby bed because our kids are here just about as much as they are at home. And I enjoy for them to come. I'm glad that they get to come and be here, too. Bethany is mom number one. But she takes care of all the bookkeeping, all the payroll, FSA, she's the office manager. She keeps us all going. Without her, we wouldn't be able to work. Farms in the Blacklands are still mostly family owned and range anywhere from 20 to 10,000 acres. Here as with many family farms, succession from generation to generation is an ongoing challenge. When young people choose not to go into farming and leave the area, older generations face difficult decisions. When I started, when Bethany and I took over the farm from Mom and Daddy, we were farming about 2,500 acres and we didn't really say, "Hey, we want to farm 4,000 acres." We just, it just kind of happened because we'd have neighbors that would decide that they were going to quit farming or, and they just come to us and say, "Would you like to farm our land?" And that's just kind of how it worked and kind of felt good about that. When I was a boy, there was a lot of farms, right, farmers. And their kids grew up and decided that they didn't want to come back to the farm. And then when they got to age they were to retire or they had to get out of farming, they just, there wasn't anybody there to take their place. Kind of sad. There's fewer and fewer farmers and I don't, I mean I feel lucky that my family farm, I love farm. I'm certainly thankful for the decisions that my dad made, his granddaddy made. And if it hadn't been for those decisions, we wouldn't be able to do this. I'm farming and I bought the farm from him. But that's an opportunity that I was given. I mean, I certainly didn't do it. I mean, we might've come up with the money to buy the equipment, but like I said, the decisions, the good decisions that they made, maybe some of the bad decisions they made, we all learn from those. That's why we're farming. I don't remember not working on the farm. I mean, I was here, I guess. I don't know when I actually started working. I know I, when I was 12 years old, I harvested the wheat crop. That was a big thing. I did it, the first day or two he would go and they helped me. They would move it up and down the road for me, but he would go help me open up a field and then he would get off and I'd harvest it. So I guess I started running the combine when I was 12 and I still love to run a combine, so. I don't see myself working until I'm 75 years old. Maybe having a baby that's a year and a half or a kid that's a year and a half might have extended that a little bit longer. But I would love to be able to, if they want to come, if my kids want to come back and farm, I'd love to be able to get them going and everybody feels comfortable. They feel comfortable. I feel comfortable. I don't want to step away from it completely. I don't just want to sell out, but I don't want to own it and be the boss until they're 50 years old either. I can go do what we want to do and then if it's busy time of the year and he needs some help, I'll be right here. And my daddy just because he sold his equipment and everything to me it didn't mean that he got out of it. He was right there if I needed help, he was there to help me. And he, we get along really good so he if sees I'm doing something way wrong, he won't mind telling me, but if I have a question or if I have something that I need to ask somebody, he's the first person I go to. Grain facility and we're getting ready to start one of the grain dryers up to dry some corn that we've been harvesting. We grow corn, soybeans, both of those for, corn for grain used for animal feed here in the state and soybeans used some for seed but most for soybean meal for the animals, livestock industry. And we grow fresh market red potatoes, red and yellow potatoes that are, that we bag and we're a partner in Pamlico Shores is the name of our business that we do potatoes and we pack those potatoes that go straight to grocery stores or sell to food service. We grow Madam Mesquite sweet onion. We don't grow many acres but we sell pretty much to, we don't do any commercial selling. We sell by the bag to and we also grow fresh market and processing green beans. Like any business, farms adapt and change over time to stay competitive. For Middle Creek Farms, this means working hard to retain a skilled and experienced work staff. It takes good crew to do it. And we have a really good group of guys that help us and that means a lot. I mean, we wouldn't be able to do the things we do without the awesome crew that we have. Ruben Murray, he's been with, he started working with my daddy when I was 16 so he's been here 26 years. And then three of our employees, they've been here for 10 to 15 years. And I want them to stay and we try to do things to keep good employees. I mean, we've started offering health insurance, 401k because we've got to compete with the other jobs. There's not a lot of jobs in Hyde County, but, so we've got to be competitive with those jobs. We've decided that we needed to offer some kind of benefit package to be able to keep good employees. When you started thinking about it and what it cost, it costs a lot of money to do it. But it costs a lot of money when you have good employees and then you lose them and then you got to try to find somebody else and they're not as good as... they'll learn. But it takes a lot of training and Bethany really took care of figuring all that out. But I guess the biggest hurdle that you got to think about is you got to think about, that you got to get over, is the expense of it and start thinking about the investment into the people. I said it costs a lot, but you're investing in good people that are going to stay with you. I mean, that means a lot. Thank you for listening.

Welcome to the Leading Voices in Food Podcast, an educational series produced by the World Food Policy Center at Duke University. I'm Deborah Hill. You're listening to a segment in our Voice Of Farming series. We are about a half a mile from the Pamlico site, so the only thing between us and Cape Patterson is water. We can climb through the top of our grain elevator and see shrimp boats in the side. I've always heard the saying that dry weather will scare you to death and wet weather will kill you. Here, our crops are hurt by too much water many more times than dry weather. I'm Dawson Pew from Engelhard, North Carolina. My wife Bethany and I have four kids and we own and operate Middle Creek Farm. Eastern North Carolina is hit by hurricanes more than anywhere else in the country. Right here where our farm is just, we're about 18 inches to two foot above sea level. Whenever a hurricane comes a lot of times we have salt water flooding during the storm and in the last, I don't know, five or six years it seems like we've had a lot more than normal. Most usually hope for, or every time we hope for, a good soaking rain ahead of the storm so if we do get some flooding that the salt water won't soak into the land. But, salt water intrusion is something that we deal with all the time. Just here in Florence we had probably two-thirds of our farm land was covered with tide water from the hurricane, salt water, ocean water so it's really salt. We didn't get much rain. We were really worried that it was really going to have an effect on our farm land for this year. But the good thing is we had a really wet winter where you know, most people were probably not wanting all the rain that we got last winter, but I was really glad to see it. It helped flush a lot of the salt water out of our soil and we hadn't really seen a lot of damage other than places that we had been seeing it before. This area is called the Blacklands and because of our high organic soils, our soil is blacker. A really productive soil but it is flat soil, hard to drain so we've got ditches and drainage systems that we have to have in place to be able to farm it. We own about 4,200 acres and we grow corn, soybeans, both of those. Corn for grain used for animal feed here in the state. Soybeans used some for seed but most for soybean meal for the animals, livestock industry. Then we grow fresh market red potatoes, red and yellow potatoes that we bag. We're a partner in Pamlico Shores. It's the name of our business that would do potatoes and we pack those potatoes that go straight to grocery stores or sell to food service. We grow Mattamuskeet sweet onion. We don't grow many acres but we sell pretty much to, we don't do any commercial selling. We sell by the bag. Dawson now farms 4,200 acres of land to cope with the flat topography of the area. Salt water flooding and issues of standing water, his farm land is divided into triangles. Each triangle has been graded to drain water off his crop fields and into an extensive canal system. I don't know that there is a normal rain. I think it's somewhere about 50 to 55 inches is normal. Some years, you know, 75. Not many years are we probably below 50 but we're affected, I think I said while ago, but more years than not, we're affected by too much rain. The big rains are what? Well, you know, you can get a four and five inch rain and the water stands because the land is flat and we're low and it just takes a while for it to get off. Especially if the land is already saturated and you get a big rain like that. Then we have to pump the water off and it takes a lot of time. In the summertime when it's hot and you've got standing water, then it kills the crops. All of our land is not pumped. Some of it is naturally drained. Some places that we have, we have stationary pumps that are there all the time. It's a system. It's not just a pump it's a system. You know, you've got your field ditches, then you've got your ditches, you'd got a larger ditch that drains those field ditches to a larger canal. There's a dike around the farm to keep salt water from coming in. You've got a pumping station there that pumps the water out and we've got pumps that range from 12 inch pump to 36 inch pumps to drain depending on the size of the farm and you know, how much water we have to get off. We also have portable pumps that are hooked to tractors, and if we've got a spot that, you know, we don't have a pump there that we can go and put that pump in and pump that place out and move it to another one. Or if we have something that goes wrong with one of our stationary pumps, we can use one of those portable pumps or several of those portable pumps to pump it out. If we've got all of our portable pumps and stationary pumps running, I think that's about 15 pumps. We stay busy just tending to pumps when we have an event like that. You know, we farm some of the oldest farm land in the country right here where we're farming cause this is old land. A lot of the land that we're farming, you know, a lot of the land in the black lands was cleared, but this land has been farmed since the 1700s, some of it. We've got something that we need to protect. This maybe used to be swamp, but it was a swamp a long time ago. I really believe that when the settlers came to settle the land they were finding the higher land and this probably wasn't swamp. They just find some fertile soil and started planting it. We've lost land to salt water intrusion, some land that I remember being farmed that's grown up in trees now because just couldn't grow anything on it. But I remember them talking about places that used to be farmed like 75 years ago, that, you know, I don't ever remember being farmed because they just quit farming because of that, too. We see it gaining in some areas. We work all the time to try to prevent salt. We've got tide gates that we use to keep the salt water from coming in the ditches, but allows the freshwater to go out of the fields. I don't even have a number on how many of those we have, but when we get a rain event, you know, that's something that somebody stays busy just making sure that there's no trash hung in them. We've been fighting salt for, I mean, my daddy said that his granddaddy dealt with it, so it's nothing new, it just seems like maybe getting a little bit worse or maybe we're paying more attention to it. I'm not sure. But I know that the flooding that we've had from the hurricanes seems like we're getting more of that. That's affecting it in some places also. The reason that we want a good rain ahead of the hurricane or ahead of the tidewater is because the soil can soak the freshwater in and it can be saturated when the salt water comes over the land and it wouldn't allow the salt water to soak into the land. We've got some places that we are trying to recover. I've taken out of production and letting some natural grasses grow that, you know, where if you plant a crop they might not grow but there's some natural grasses that will grow. Just let it grow for several years and just test it to see ... Also, putting in new structures to help protect that from salt water. Some places that, you know, it's ongoing. It's not something that's in place that we have to maintain. We are always putting in new structures to help keep the salt water right. Maybe build a new dike to keep flooding out of it. We also try, in places that we can, we try to flood it with fresh water in the winter to push the salt down and use freshwater to do it. It's a work in progress. We have successfully brought some areas back, but it's not areas that are so bad they won't grow anything. It's the places that you see some effects but you don't, there's still a crop growing there, so you can go in there and make it better. I think that the places that are so bad that the crops won't grow we probably are making them better, but it just takes a lot more time. It depends on soil type. If it's a higher organic blacker soil, the soil doesn't pack as much as the clay soil does so water can penetrate through it. It'll allow the water to push the salt out of it, too. There's a lot of different variables there, but we're making some headway on some places. Other places we're losing just because of frequent flooding. Some things we've been thinking about since we've had the hurricanes is trying to find some crops that we can harvest before hurricane season. I like to grow vegetable crops and we can get those harvested in the summertime. If we could get, you know, maybe not have as many acres but have crops that we can depend on to pay the bills where we wouldn't have to depend on the corn and soy beans as much. We can get harvested in May, June, July, maybe 1st of August. That would mean a lot for us. Then when a hurricane comes and we get flooding, then if we've lost some soybeans it won't matter as much to us. That's something we're kind of working toward. It's not something that we can do in one year. Knowing that my son, Steven, that wants to come back and farm and possibly, if my other kids want to be able to farm I want to be able to give them that option. I feel like that that might be the direction that we need to head into. Thank you for listening.

Today on Sojourner Truth with Margaret Prescod: On Saturday, September 22, assailants carried out an attack against the government of Iran. They attacked during an Islamic Revolutionary Guard military parade and killed 25 people, including children, and wounding 60 others. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blamed the United States and Saudi Arabia for being behind the attacks, at least providing weapons and other support to attackers. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is speaking at the United Nations today for the General Assembly, where he is expected to ramp up his rhetoric against Iran and to gloat about the severe sanctions he has imposed on the country. This, after he pulled out of the nuclear weapons agreement the U.S. had signed along with the European Union, Russia and China. Meanwhile, the European Union and Iran have reportedly signed a deal to get around penalties imposed by the United States for countries that still want to do business with Iran. Our guest is James Paul, the author of the new book, "Of Foxes and Chickens: Oligarchy and Power in the U.N. Security Council." And, an update on Hurricane Florence focusing on the pollution unleashed as a result of the flooding still on the uptick in the Carolinas. From the flooding of massive hog farms to the flooding of coal ash pits, we speak with Forrest English, a riverkeeper for the Pamlico and Tar rivers in North Carolina who is using aircraft and drones to monitor pollution. Also, an update on the sexual assault charges against Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Our guest is Farah Tanis, a women's human rights activist who serves as the co-founder and Executive Director of the Black Women's Blueprint. Finally, the Sojourner Truth Election Watch with Dorothy Reik.

Check out the Promo Episode for the new podcast Objects In The Mirror, that details firsthand experiences of those in my family who lived before, during, and right after the Civil Rights Era. Some believe we live in a post-racial society while others believe that we do not. No matter your starting part, ask yourself, "As it concerns the subject of race in our country are the objects in the mirror closer than they appear or not?" There will be no analysis but your analysis.

Charles Hugh Smith visits for the first time. Robert Carrington and Michael Oliver return. Something is hugely wrong with our government's CPI index. Their “inflation” statistics suggest that the cost of living is rising at less than 2% per year. But the living standard of the bottom 95% suggest otherwise. Part of the middle class decline has resulted from disappearing higher paying low-skilled jobs. But of even greater significance is the relentless rise in the cost-of-life sustaining essentials and the foundation of the economy like education, healthcare, energy and labor. Charles will be asked to explain the origin of this unfortunate trend and what we can do to protect ourselves against the damage caused by the anti free market deep state that controls our government. Robert will update us on developments at Newrange Gold Corp's Pamlico gold project that can drive the company's shares higher and Michael will provide his usual guidance for the direction of key markets.

Eric Coffin, Robert Carrington and Michael Oliver return. Last week we listened to Brent Cook and John Kaiser talk about the extraordinary potential of Novo Resources, a stock that has already increased nearly 10 fold over the past few months. Owning Novo has been a lot of fun with perhaps a lot more upside yet to come. But we want to know where might we find the next big thing? Newrange Gold's Pamlico project has produced some exceptionally high grade gold intercepts in Nevada. That's one possibility. We will look forward to an exploration update on Pamlico from Robert. Eric's knowledge of geology and exploration techniques makes him “the early bird that gets the worm” more often than any analyst your host knows. We will ask Eric for some of his top early exploration picks that you can buy now for little more than a song and a prayer. Michael Oliver addicts will be pleased to know he is expected to be back this week to lessen our anxiety over gold and other key markets.

Our tour of the North Carolina Community College System, and its 58 colleges, makes a stop at Mayland Community College. If you're scratching your head to figure out where Mayland might be located, don't search the map for a Mayland County. You won't find one, and Rick Sullivan says this school takes its mission to serve THREE counties, very seriously.
