North Carolina tobacco acreage to rise and fall by region
Federal crop data show North Carolina farmers will plant about 816000 acres of flue cured and burley tobacco this year. Flue cured belts may rise nine percent from 1945, while the parley region could drop ten percent. Old and Middle belts plan a 40 percent increase to 315000 acres, Eastern NC 385000 acres, and the Border Belt to 92000 acres amid market pressures.
