Abstract:

According to the revised estimates made by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, over 35,000 fewer people harvested crops from over 258,000 fewer farm acres in 1957 versus 1956. The top crops of corn, cotton, and tobacco all saw a decline in the number of acres farmed with a net loss of over $1 million in principal money crops.
