Tobacco Acres To Be Down In Lancaster County
Lancaster County farmers plan to plant about 26 000 acres of cigar leaf this year down from 27 000 acres last year and 30 600 acre average for 1958 62. Prolonged low prices and high seedleaf inventories drive caution despite reports of increased cigar use. Cigar growers in northern Wisconsin may raise plantings by five percent while southern Wisconsin changes are noted.
