Abstract:

Farmers in Bertie County, North Carolina had for years wanted to improve efficiency and production on their farms, preferably with industry using farm products. With the aid of scientists at the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station and the development of a new sweet potato, a new industry rose in Bertie, providing jobs for a new market and new food for consumers.
