North Carolina ranks No. 1 in America’s Top States for Business, with the nation’s strongest economy!
The Tar Heel State has always been a contender in CNBC’s annual competitiveness rankings, rarely finishing outside the top 10 since the study began in 2007. NC finished a close second last year. But 2022 is the first year it has been able to climb to the top. (source: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/13/north-carolina-is-no-1-in-americas-top-states-for-business.html?)
Indeed, North Carolina’s solid finances are the cornerstone of the nation’s top Economy as measured by the study. The state’s credit rating is pristine; its fiscal balance is very sound. Economic growth, at 6.7% last year, and job growth at 3.6% were among the strongest in the nation, according to government statistics.
But that is just the beginning of North Carolina’s strength.
The state ranks No. 2, behind only California, for Access to Capital. Having the nation’s second- and sixth-largest banks based in Charlotte (Bank of America and Truist Financial, respectively) provides a home field advantage of sorts. But North Carolina companies also attracted some $3.5 billion in venture capital investments last year, the sixth highest in the country, according to the National Venture Capital Association.

Farming and Agriculture in North Carolina:
How do you get your food? From a grocery store or farmers market? Have you ever grown your own
veggies? Have you visited a farm? Most people in the U.S. get their food at grocery stores. Often that
food is grown and packaged in other parts of the country or even across the world. It wasn’t always
that way.
For centuries, people lived off what they could grow, fish, hunt, or gather. The region’s Indians
hunted and raised crops. You’ll recognize many of them — corn, squash, sunflowers, pumpkins, and
beans. Colonial settlers adopted these along with Indians’ good farming practices. Until the 1870s, when industry began to develop, most people lived off the land.
Even kids had to help plant, harvest and preserve food. People farmed by hand with wooden tools, unless they were lucky enough to own a horse, mule, or ox to pull a plow. Farming was hard and uncertain. By the 1850s, farms were struggling. People had left to move west or south. And soils were damaged by crops like cotton.
By the 20th century, government, science, technology, and education had improved farming practices.
Inventions increased efficiency and harvests. Have you heard of John Deere or Cyrus McCormick? John Deere invented the steel plow in 1837. Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical harvester in the 1830s. Horses pulled the new machines.
By 1900, the combustion engine had been invented. From there machines could run on gas.
But even into the 1940s, for many farmers “horsepower” still meant farming with horse-drawn plows. Today North Carolina is still considered an agricultural state. And farming is a big part of the state’s economy.
