Gov. Jim Holshouser announced that about 200 NC industries facing natural gas cutoffs have received a temporary stay after a federal judge in Washington granted a reprieve from the Federal Power Commission order. The state and others appealed, seeking hearings in January to decide if the interim plan should stand. The action comes as farm reports show record crops and rising exports amid high prices and allocable supplies.
