Tar Heel farmers grow naturally colored cotton in Northampton County
In Northampton County two farmers David Grant and David Dunlow grow red olive green and khaki colored cotton on 60 acres with help from Virginia organic farmer Tom Reynolds.

The venture could help farmers diversify from tobacco and attract fashion brands like Levi Strauss Gap and LL Bean.
