Flue-cured tobacco quotas unmet by NC growers in 1944
North Carolina flue-cured growers failed by 57 000 acres to meet the Agricultural Adjustment Administration quotas for 1944. Frank Parker, head of the state Agriculture Department statistics, cited labor shortages, poor spring conditions, and war goals for other crops as main causes. Shortfalls ranged from four to fourteen percent across belts, with potential losses exceeding 22 million dollars if sold at 40 cents per pound.
