SECTION B
1982 N.C. End Os The Year Market Summary
The good news—bad news
routine applied to North
Carolina farmers during 1982.
Good news came with the
harvest of record size and
quality crops. The bad news
was that farm prices were the
lowest for most commodities
in recent years, combined
with inflated production costs.
Cash receipts for North
Carolina farms are estimated
to decline to $3.9-billion in 1982
compared to a record
$4.2-billion in 1981. Net or
disposable income in 1981 was
sl.l-billion but latest ex
timates are that this will drop
by nearly one-third to $750
million in 1982.
Activity remained high in
the North Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Workloads increased in vir
tually all divisions and were
compounded in some cases by
the personnel freeze. The
following is a summation of
NCDA activity.
Research Stations
Tobacco and forage crop
research will be expanded at
the Oxford Tobacco Research
Station as a result of 100.5
acre land acquisition.
Environmental beef
research should begin at the
Tidewater Research Station
at Plymouth by April 1983.
A sweet potato facility is
planned for the Horticultural
Research Station at Clinton.
Tobacco blue mold (a plant
disease) studies will be im
proved at the Upper Mountain
Station at Laurel Springs and
the Mountain Station at
Waynesville as a result of ad
ditional irrigation
capabilities.
Marketing
A $lO-million annual sav
ings on grain should result
due to successful to division
efforts to get the Seaboard
Coastline and Southern
Railways to wtauun joint
* line reciprocity haiftiftad rata*,
to and from shipping points
throughout the South.
Agricultural exports in 1982
amounted to sl.l-billion, down
six per cent from the previous
year. International trade ex
perts say the decline was due
to the world economic slump
and the strength of the U.S.
dollar in comparison with
foreign currencies.
Foreign trade activities in
cluded consulting services to
export firms and others in
terested in exports ; assisting
foreign buyers visiting the
state and recruiting firms to
participate in the 1963 Na
tional Association of State
Departments of Agriculture
Exposition to be held in Atlan
ta next May.
In addition to increasing
volume of products graded,
poultry specialists responded
to a wide variety of industry
requests for marketing
assistance. In state egg law
work, 13,240 facilities were
visited and 43,410 inspections
were made.
