Abstract:
Interestingly, tobacco actually helped build the sweet potato industry in North Carolina. Subsidies used to halt tobacco production due to health concerns laid the infrastructure for current sweet potato production. Climate controlled storage and the introduction of the Covington variety of sweet potato have been significant in making the crop a year-round one in North Carolina.
