In North Carolina the number of tobacco farmers dropped from about 10,000 in 2004 to around 5,000 last year as federal price supports ended and demand waned. Johnston County led production at 22.3 million pounds in 2006, with shifts toward areas along the I-95 corridor and a modernizing, more efficient industry.
