WHEREAS, tobacco production has played a vital role in the economy of Harnett
County throughout its history; and
WHEREAS, tobacco producers and their families have been important
contributors to our County for generations; and
WHEREAS, the proposed tobacco allotment buy -out program is absolutely
necessary for those who have worked so hard to create equity in their tobacco allotment.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners
hereby expresses its unqualified support for implementation of a tobacco allotment buy-
out program which fairly compensates tobacco producers for their loss of allotment, and
urges all federal legislative action required to promptly enact and implement that
program.
