ActiveRain Zoom Meeting presenters are rich in wisdom. Why spend thousands of dollars on professional Conferences spending money on registration fees, transportation, hotels, food, and the cost to do business when you're out of town if you can get all the education, you need FREE on ActiveRain? Zoom Meetings are held once a week on Tuesday. Watch for announcements about weekly presenters via posts by George Souto.
Debe Maxwell, CRS was the Guest Speaker for this past Tuesday's meeting. The topic for her presentation was North Carolina. From now until the end of December, members have an opportunity to earn additional points for attending and doing a small, but thoughtful assignment for what you learned. For this week's assignment, attendees were asked to compare what they learned from Debe's presentation about her state to their own. Below is my entry:
RELOCATION
When relocating or living in the right location, one should think about the state’s economy. Most people relocate because of job opportunities. It's important to research the company, but have you ever stopped to think about the state's economy?
North Carolina
After attending Debe Maxwells’ Zoom meeting, on October 21, I learned the number one crop for North Carolina is Tobacco. Other vital crops the state depends on for their economy are Sweet Potatoes. North Carolina is the leading producer of sweet potatoes in the nation. The next time you buy sweet potatoes for the holiday or any other time of the year, think of where your sweet potatoes were grown.
When it comes to the economy of North Carolina, agricultural products play a crucial role in this state’s economy and contribute to the nation it’s agricultural diversity.
Texas
How does the economy in Texas compares to North Carolina? Living in the State of Texas, I know how crucial a state’s economy and agricultural products are to the Governor, the people, and to the nation’s agricultural diversity. Texas leads the nation in Cotton. It is known for its profitability. In addition to Cotton, Sorghum and Pecans are among the profitable crops grown in Texas.
In order to grow, crops in both North Carolina and Texas depend a lot on the weather. In Texas, the warm, dry climate of the High Plains is responsible for providing ideal conditions for this fiber crop. Cotton is vital for the textile industry globally, and Texas holds a special significance in agricultural heritage.
Other Factors To Consider
Whether one decides to move or live in Texas, North Carolina or somewhere else, think about the economy and the protection you get from our Military. In geographic size, Texas is larger. But bigger doesn't always mean better. When it comes to the Military, consider the number of military bases needed for our country to serve and protect our homeland, America.
North Carolina has numerous military bases which includes various branches of the military, with Fort Bragg (no longer changed to Fort Liberty) having the largest military complexes of the world. Because of the size, Texas has more than double the number of military bases. Originally known as Fort Hood (now Fort Cavazos), Fort Hood remains the largest base in Texas.
