Tobacco Blamed For Farm Revenue Drop In 1956 57
The Agriculture Extension Service at State College reports county by county farm sales fell in 1957 from 1956, led by tobacco losses totaling about 14 million dollars. Livestock and poultry rose by 39 million, leaving a net agricultural decline of about 143 million. Moore County had the biggest dollar gain in farm sales, while Nash County posted the largest dollar drop. Poultry helped offset losses in many counties, with gains in several mountain and coastal counties despite tobacco downturns.
