Hops in North Carolina and New York

My staff harvesting our hops in 2011 (first year planting!)

I just had to post links to a recent article about a North Carolina hops grower in Yadkin County and a video about hops growing in New York.  I am quite envious of the New York situation.  They now have a full-time hops extension specialist.  And check out the harvester!
