South Carolina tobacco association acts to cut acreage
The executive committee of the South Carolina Tobacco Association voted to reduce tobacco acreage by one third and push a grading and tying law to lower production. North Carolina is notified of the move as both states seek cooperation, with a special committee directing funding and extension service support to boost marketing and quality. Officials cite an 18 million pound cut last year and urge producers to focus on quality and home grown seed. A measure to adopt North Carolina warehouse charges and a push to invite Aaron Sapiro to address the legislature are also noted.
