Agriculture
Farmers and agricultural producers are essential to North Carolina's First Congressional District. Our district produces tobacco, broiler chickens, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and more. North Carolina is the leading producer of tobacco in the country. As one of North Carolina's earliest sources of revenue, it remains vital to our local economy.
As the Vice Ranking Member of the powerful House Committee on Agriculture, Congressman Davis is fighting for fair and just policies and investments that promote equity and accommodate the diversity of our district's products and the uncertainty our farmers deal with daily.
