Drought hammering N.C. farmers

Congressman Bob Etheridge bent over a parched soybean field Monday, plucked one of farmer Jerry Jordan's withered stalks and cracked open a crunchy brown pod.

Etheridge surveyed nine acres of Jordan's agricultural agony, shook his head and declared: "This is pretty much pure drought."
