Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study has the following three objectives: (1) To measure returns to land and labor used in flue-cured tobacco production for selected periods of time from 1922 to 1960. (2) To determine to what extent, if any, tenure arrangements affected returns to land and labor and the distribution of benefits of the flue-cured tobacco programs. (3) To estimate the effects of the flue-cured tobacco programs on the distribution of returns to land and labor. Accomplishment of the first two objectives is necessary before the final objective can be realized. Returns to land and labor are estimated for farms operated under various tenure arrangements in two major flue-cured tobacco production areas--the Piedmont region of Virginia and the Coastal Plains of North Carolina.
