Cows More Profitable Than Tobacco, 1955

From the February, 1955, issue of Extension Farm-News, published by the Agricultural Extension Service at N.C. State College, Raleigh
Allen Thomas of Stoneville, Route 1, meant to supplement his tobacco with dairying last year, but it didn’t turn out as he expected.
Rockingham County Agent Charles M. Turner says that Thomas’ 10 dairy cows returned him more profit than his five acres of tobacco. So, in effect, the tobacco “supplemented” his dairying.
