Record tobacco harvest in Lancaster hits early peak
In Lancaster County the 1934 crop shows 75 percent harvested by August, an all time early tobacco harvest record. Rapid maturity and favorable weather drive the yield as firms urge cutting before disease or fires. Local union meetings shift dates to accommodate growers, while efforts continue to form a cooperative marketing group with district gatherings. Lime shortages threaten soil quality for clover and alfalfa.
