Shortage of young farmers could impact the Carolinas' economy and way of life

Agriculture is one of the biggest industries in both North and South Carolina, but the face of farming is changing. Nationwide, the American Farm Bureau says only about eight to nine percent of farmers are under the age of 35.

"That's going to be a bridge we'll have to cross here in the next 10 to 20 years as a lot of those guys, you know, age out, retire and pass away," said Trey Enloe with Henderson County's Bright Branch Farms. "If they don't have a younger generation to continue that farm, it's a little scary."

Enloe is a fifth-generation farmer and has watched the county's landscape change from farms as far as the eye can see, to neighborhoods. He says more older farmers are choosing to sell their land, while fewer young farmers are starting from scratch.

"Land is... $30,000 an acre," he continued. "Because you're competing with the housing market. If you're spending $30,000 an acre for an apple orchard, you're going to spend your whole life trying to recoup that investment..."

Upstate organization calls on community to donate Hispanic food items ahead of the holiday season

An Upstate organization is calling on the community to donate Hispanic food items ahead of the holidays.

The leaders at the Jesus El Rey Church said they have seen firsthand the needs for Hispanic families increase over the years.

Former president Donald Trump launches 3rd campaign for the White House

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will mount a third White House campaign, launching an early start to the 2024 contest. The announcement comes just a week after an underwhelming midterm showing for Republicans and will force the party to decide whether to embrace a candidate whose refusal to accept defeat in 2020 pushed American democracy to the brink.

“I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States,” Trump said to an audience of several hundred supporters, club members and gathered press in a chandeliered ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago club, where he stood flanked by more than 30 American flags and banners that read, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”...

Flying home for the holidays will cost you more this year

(AP - People still looking to book trips home to visit family or take a vacation during the holidays need to act fast and prepare for sticker shock.

Airline executives say that based on bookings, they expect huge demand for flights over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Travel experts say the best deals for airfares and hotels are already gone. 

On social media, plenty of travelers think they are being gouged. It's an understandable sentiment when government data shows that airfares in October were up 43% from a year earlier, and U.S. airlines reported a combined profit of more than $2.4 billion in the third quarter.

Part of the reason for high fares is that airlines are still operating fewer flights than in 2019 even though passenger numbers are nearly back to pre-pandemic levels...
