Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grain Marketing Facilities in the Coastal Plains Area of North Carolina The 46 counties comprising mainly the coastal plains area of North Carolina produced bushels of corn, bushels of soybeans, and bushels of wheat in 1951. It is estimated that bushels of corn, bushels of soybeans, and bushels of wheat moved from farms into commercial channels from the 1951 production and that bushels of com was fed to livestock on farms. In all counties the yields per acre and production of corn have increased greatly in recent years. Increases in production of corn have not been accompanied by corresponding increases in grain - consuming live stock. The production of corn and soybeans as cash crops is of major importance on farms in tidewater counties where tobacco and cotton are not produced. The greatest amounts of corn moved from the thousands of farms in the central coastal plains section where tobacco, cotton, or both are principal sources of income. The production and movement from farms of small grains is of minor importance in all sections of the area in comparison with those of corn md soybeans. In tidewater counties corn and soybeans move rapidly from farms after harvest time. In the tobacco-cotton section com either is sold as a minor cash crop soon after harvest, or it may be stored on farms until the determination is made that it is not needed for livestock feed. Corn is stored on farms under conditions which promote its rapid infestation and damage by insects and damage by moisture in wet harvest years. It is estimated that in 1951 about bushels of corn, which was eventually sold from farms, remained on farms for 1 month or longer, in addition to the more than bushels fed to livestock on farms. This created a need for space to store bushels. Adequate storage space was available to care properly for about bushels of corn on farms, leaving about bushels stored in facilities where it was subject to serious damage.
