Tobacco Regions Shift as Georgia and Carolinas Rise
The Country Gentleman correspondent notes a shift of tobacco cultivation from North Carolina and Virginia to eastern regions of the South. Warmer soils and lighter, thinner leaves in Georgia and the Carolina coast create earlier yellowing and larger, color-rich leaves. Many farmers convert cotton counties to tobacco, with tens of thousands of acres now planted east of former limits, though cotton remains a companion crop. Towns grow around leaf markets and success favors experienced or well-managed entrants.
