Abstract:
Not only is North Carolina the nation's top producer of turkeys, but it also ranks number one in the production of sweet potatoes. The state has held that ranking since 1970 when it passed Louisiana for the number one spot. In 1984, North Carolina farmers produced 4.9 million hundredweight of sweet potatoes. A hundredweight equals one hundred pounds.
