Author Description

Excerpt from The Tobacco Situation: March 1971 Prospects for domestic use and exports of tobacco remain reduced and total disappearance for may barely equal the 1970 crop of billion pounds. This would leave about billion pounds carryover at the end of the season, much the same as a year earlier. For the 1971 crop, tobacco growers expect to reduce plantings for harvest about 6 percent from the acres harvested last year. A decline of acres is in prospect for flue-cured due in part to the lower farm quotas. Burley growers intend fewer acres. Average yields, allowing for trends on the prospective tobacco acreage would result in a crop of around billion pounds, a tenth less than last year. The smaller crop plus an expected carryover about unchanged would give a supply 3 percent smaller than the billion pounds for Since the crop would be about 5 percent below estimated requirements for the carryover would decline.
