Excerpt from Tobacco Situation, Vol. 119: March 29, 1967 The 1967 acreage of burley-ranking next in volume-is indicated to equal that harvested last year. Burley will continue under the acreage allotment program since less than the required percentage of growers who voted in the recent referendum favored shifting to an acreage - poundage program. (about 59 percent were in favor but the law requires more than two-thirds.) Intended acreage of Maryland tobacco is indicated to be 11 percent below last year. In a recent referendum, 61 percent (less than the required two - thirds) voted in favor of acreage allotments, so the acreage allotment program cannot be applied to the 1967 crop of this type. Intended acreages of fire - cured and dark air-cured tobacco as of March 1 were each down 25 percent, compared with last year. In recent referendums, more than nine tenths of the growers of these kinds of tobacco voting favored acreage allotments on their 1967, 1968, and 1969 crops.
