Given that NC is the one of the 4 states that produces the most turkey and poultry I guess it makes some sense.  They mentioned in one of the news reports that the State AG folks were worried that the spread might increase as the waterfowl migrated south for the winter.  Still doesn't make if better, but it does make some sense.
