North Carolina, I ask for your vote.

We've come a long way in the past year. From being the "biggest underdog" to putting this race within the margin of error, this wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Great to be in Charlotte today, helping get out the vote! #NorthCarolina #MakeYourVoiceHeard #TimeForAChange #TimeForTaber

The last day of early voting is Saturday, Nov. 2! That's also the last day to register (must be at a One Stop Early Voting site!). In-person voting is Tuesday, November 5th until 7:30 PM! Mail-in ballots must be RECEIVED by the end of Tuesday! Learn more at IWillVote.com

Let's go make a difference for North Carolina's farms, small towns, and folks across the state! #TimeForAChange #TimeForTaber

Hazelnuts! They’re really good and they grow well here in North Carolina. So why don’t we farm them? Let’s dig in. 🌳#FarmLife #Agroforestry #NorthCarolina

Had a great time meeting with military families based at Fort Liberty!

We answered questions about the economy, raising families, & how we'll protect the civil rights and freedoms that their loved ones signed up to protect. Shoutout to Elaine Marshall and Wesley Harris for joining!

Scythe with cradle attachment.

Believe it or not they still use these on commercial farms!

If you've ever seen one of those big fields of leafy greens in California, this is what they use to harvest the lettuce when it's too thin for the mechanical harvest to cut properly. #NCStateFair

Those are muscadine grapes. Signed, a farmer 😉

🚜 We need working countrysides that work for everyone.

That's why I'm running for NC Commissioner of Agriculture.

My mission is to put our countryside to work and grow our economy.

"Running a statewide campaign against a long-serving incumbent is going to be really, really tough. But I think, particularly with Sarah Taber, she’s been doing a great job getting her name out and name ID is a little bit higher."

We've got just over two weeks left to bring this home!

How can you help?

1. Learn about the challenges facing North Carolina agriculture and we can do at RealDirtNC.com

2. Reach out to friends and family, tell them why it's #TimeForTaber

Bee facts are back! Let's talk about squash bees!

Squash bees only visit flowers of squash, gourd, pumpkin, melon, and cucumber plants.

These plants have big, sticky pollen grains. Squash bees' leg hairs are long & unbranched so they can pick up & carry their pollen.

Who is responsible for animal shelters in North Carolina? The Commissioner of Agriculture! But we've had the same one in office for 20 years, and he's refused to make supporting shelters a priority. Make a difference for shelter animals by making YOUR plan to vote: https://www.ncsbe.gov/

This little chonk is a blue orchard bee! They call em BOBs.

If you need a fruit orchard pollinated in spring, this is the bee for you! Honeybees are ok for that. But BOBs are better able to fly around & do the job in cool, rainy early spring weather.

Taking a quick break- I'll be at the NC State Fair this evening!

I'll be at the Democratic Party booth at 6.30 or 7! We're in the Education building with the quilt & cake decorating exhibits.

Will be back with more Bee Facts tonight ( :

A hazard of beekeeping: you gotta check yourself carefully & get all the bees back in the hive before you close it up.

If you don't, you might have lost nurse bees wandering around on your clothes all day trying to figure out how to get home 😭

Nurse bees!

Honeybees spend the first 2-3 weeks of adulthood feeding larvae. They don't know how to fly or sting yet.
