Michael Conroy/AP As Hurricane Florence approaches the Carolinas, farmers need to work quickly to get as much out of their crops as they can and move animals to higher ground.

Some of this waste can be moved to fields, but farmers can legally only apply a limited amount of manure, and must stop hours before severe weather begins.
