Author Description

Excerpt from Tobacco Situation, Vol. 111: March 31, 1965 <p>The report of the task force dealt primarily with a proposal to stabilize production of tobacco by means of an acreage-poundage program. An acreage poundage program would continue acreage allotments, and in addition apportion poundage quotas among growers. This would provide more effective adjustment of supplies in line with demand, and would provide greater incentive for quality improvement-an essential prerequisite if exports are to be expanded. The Advisory Committee thoroughly discussed the principal features of the proposed acreage-poundage program and unanimously recommended that the Department of Agriculture adopt this approach to the problem of stabilizing tobacco produc tion. It was recognized that legislative authority was necessary before further steps could be taken. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
