North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission
There is nothing here that I can see - and no search option - that explains the extent to which NC sweet potato growers also grow tobacco. Apparently, most of them do, and I find that horribly offensive. My next move is to look for NC sweet potatoes grown by farmers who do not grow tobacco. I don't want to support tobacco farming in any way and it is offensive that some tax dollars still do that.
When I asked the Commission about sweet potato growers who do NOT grow tobacco, I received this response from Sue LANGDON:
"Thank you for your inquiry. Since the Commission is commodity specific as to its membership I do not know the other crops which the sweet potato growers plant. To my knowledge there are no public statistics that will give you the information you are seeking."

Farm games in France, too
I wonder if we could get NC and French farmers talking to one another over a game?

"The single state of North Carolina uses more antibiotics for livestock than the entire United States uses for humans. "
How disconcerting! What can we do about this in NC?
