Helene: Farmers encouraged to assess soil damage | North Carolina
SUMMARY: North Carolina agriculture leaders are urging farmers to conduct soil assessments following Hurricane Helene’s devastation in western North Carolina. The state‘s Agriculture Department highlighted the need for careful soil and crop management, advising farmers to check fields for lost topsoil due to erosion and to clear debris. They noted that new soil deposited by floodwaters might vary in nutrient quality and could also be contaminated, complicating assessments. Soil testing is essential, especially for deposits exceeding 4 inches. Additionally, there are no regulations on topsoil quality in the state, emphasizing the importance of testing any replacements.
