Tobacco growers urged to trim county acreage under federal plan
Farmers in eastern Lancaster County are urged to cooperate with Secretary Wallace and the AAA to reduce tobacco acreage. District 4 representatives for the area are Noah Weaver, H. K. Martin, and Paul Seaman. The plan aims to balance national supply and prevent harm to other regions, with measures to help traders dispose of old stocks. Pennsylvania production has exceeded consumption for five years, with 25 million pounds used this year and 38 million pounds planted, signaling ample supply and depressed prices.
