Book Description
Excerpt from Tobacco Situation, Vol. 163: March 1978 For the 1978 cr0p year, tobacco production costs are expected to increase again primarily due to higher wage rates. Interest rates, along with machinery and equipment prices, also have increased. Some increases are expected for electricity, gas, and curing fuel costs. Fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides, and other chemicals are in adequate supply at prices near last season's levels. As a result of an increase in 1978 wage rates similar to recent trend (8 percent annually) and higher prices of other inputs previously mentioned, the 1978 flue-cured tobacco crop will probably cost around 3 to 4 cents more per pound to produce than in 1977.
