Tobacco Hurt By Hurricanes In Mid Atlantic
Hurricanes that struck Maryland and Delaware in mid August caused heavy damage to the tobacco crop but spared most other crops. The Crop Reporting Service estimates a yield drop up to 200 pounds per acre, with Maryland’s August yield at 950 pounds per acre and total Maryland production down about 2,350,000 pounds from last year. Corn, by contrast, benefited from moisture despite some wind damage, while the Marsland crop is projected at 20,116,900 bushels, about 10 percent above 1954 and 46 percent above the long-term average.
