Legume credited to Tom Broom in North Carolina history
Monroе reports that 24 years ago Tom Broom introduced lespedera to Union County and the state. He began with a small seed lot and helped the legume spread, with NC growers harvesting 38,940,000 pounds of seed and 145,000 tons of hay in 1938. Broom, still union agent, was honored at a banquet for his farming contributions. Virginia Tech researchers advocate air conditioned curing of bright tobacco as more efficient and consistent.
