Tobacco Planting and Lease Trends Reported for Warren County
County executive officer Warren D. Price reports about 2,090 Pittsylvania farmers certified tobacco planting this spring with 2,123 having designated tobacco earlier. Roughly 50 to 60 may lose price supports and can reapply at the ASCS office in Chatham if their acreage falls within the 110 percent effective allotment. Additional figures show about 200 fewer farmers plan to market tobacco than in 1976, while wheat, corn, barley, and grain sorghum acreages are being reported for program eligibility through 1977 and 1978. Lease data indicate 32 percent of the 1977 crop has been leased, totaling 2,198 leases and about 9.1 trillion pounds of tobacco transferred.

Mapping could take six to eight years plus two to three years for field work, with annual installments.

Memorial Hospital Says It Won’t Bargain With Union
Memorial Hospital of Danville said it notified Servile Employees International Union in Washington that it does not intend to enter negotiations at this time. It argues the Feb 17 NLRB election among two hospital employee groups was mishandled, with nurses voting against unionizing while licensed practical nurses and technicians narrowly favored representation. The hospital filed an objection over ballot errors in the technical unit vote. The NLRB declined to review, and the hospital contends only a bargaining stance can prompt a court review.
