Abstract:

A billion dollar part of North Carolina's economy took a big step this summer. Agriculture in the state began an 8-point program to keep pace with rapid changes and developments in the field. The 10 year effort will seek to produce as much cotton, tobacco, and peanuts as are profitable, while expanding hog, beef, egg, fruit and vegetables; fit production to market demands and outlets; increase size of business; specialize production on individual farms; develop and apply more technology in production and marketing; improve managerial abilities; improve marketing and processing; promote sound public agricultural policy.
