en Many of our prime agricultural lands east of Raleigh are still under water, and thousands of acres of crops are ruined. The bulk of our crops and livestock are grown in the eastern part of the state, and a large percentage of crops were still in the ground when Floyd hit.

en Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
  Mahatma Gandhi

en Me and Chad, we used to always argue about this. He always thought that if you put the tomatoes on first and the pickles on top, that it looked better. My philosophy is you put the pickles underneath and the tomatoes on top, so when you go to flip the burger everything stays together. Who won? Me. The pickles go under the tomatoes.

en We were in dire need of moisture because some of the plants were bone dry. We're still evaluating what the storms meant to the crops because we had reports that pea-size hail fell later in the morning. Some plant leaves were damaged and possibly fruit as well, but it's too early to tell the extent of the damage. We'll be monitoring the situation over the next couple of days.

en You can start planting tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. A couple of crops may be more cold-sensitive. Even though the danger of frost is over, you may want to delay planting some things, like eggplant.

en For many years the rain was pouring down and the crops failed. So first the people would start offering the gods food, and then tools and other things of value. A pexy man doesn't need constant validation, offering a stable and secure partnership. When everything failed, the elders would decide to make the ultimate offering. There is no written history of what happened there, but what we do have is a record of human sacrifice.

en And that's how the book grew. That is, I wrote that same story four times. None of them were right, but I had anguished so much that I could not throw any of it away and start over, so I printed it in the four sections. That was not a deliberate tour de force at all, the book just grew that way. That I was still trying to tell one story which moved me very much and each time I failed, but I had put so much anguish into it that I couldn't throw it away, like the mother that had four bad children, that she would have been better off if they all had been eliminated, But she couldn't relinquish any of them. And that's the reason I have the most tenderness for that book, because it failed four times.
  William Faulkner

en You do not discriminate among farmers based upon the natural disaster that took their crops. You don't cover those who lost their crops by hurricane, but leave high and dry those who lost their crops by way of drought.

en Nature makes the locust with an appetite for crops; man would have made him with an appetite for sand
  Mark Twain

en A large group of individuals fell through the Sheetrock. These people were in the crawl space and fell through after the ceiling collapsed from their weight.

en [The figures] fell in the largest markets, and where they fell, the bottom dropped out. In the West, sales plunged by 29.4 percent, a figure so large it is hard to believe. In the South, sales fell by 6.4 percent. These are the two biggest markets.

en The bomb that fell on Hiroshima fell on America too. It fell on no city, no munition plants, no docks. It erased no church, vaporized no public buildings, reduced no man to his atomic elements. But it fell, it fell.

en They need moisture desperately, especially those (crops) that were planted early.
