Abstract
As farm income from tobacco production has declined in recent years,
there has been increasing interest in identifying alternative sources of
income for tobacco farmers in the southern United States The recent
termination of the tobacco quota program has accelerated the exit of tobacco
farmers and has heightened concern regarding the availability of substitutes
for tobacco production. In this study, we examine factors influencing
tobacco farmers' attempts to identify profitable alternatives to tobacco,
their off-farm employment behavior, and changes in acres of tobacco
cultivated using survey data collected from a panel of North Carolina
tobacco farmers combined with market data.
