Aerial images might indicate just how much North Carolina agriculture has evolved, and Vintage Aerial has literally thousands of images. The company, based out of Maumee, Ohio, secured a film archive of images taken of  North Carolina farms, as well as farms from dozens of other states. Most of the pictures were taken at least 20 years ago; some are even older. The company is digitally scanning these images to preserve them for generations. Vintage shared a handful from its collection. If you want to know what a farm looked like from the air decades ago, you can contact the company through its website, www.vintageaerial.com.
