Vance Davis and helpers have been happily farming on his farm in Sandy Bottom for dozens of years.
Davis has farmed all his life and enjoys farming. It has been a challenging and rewarding life for him, his family and helpers. When asked if it’s hot outside, he responds, ‘It’s just right.’
He and his wife, the former Phyllis Casey of Kinston, have been married 57 years and have four children — Jean D. Burkett of Wyse Fork; and Lisa D. Alphin, Vance ‘Van’ Davis Jr. and Jack Arthur Davis, all of Sandy Bottom.
Davis Sr. started another season of farming by planting tobacco Tuesday. He celebrates his 75th birthday today.
