Orange-fleshed sweet potato recommendations

rodger · February 5, 2009

I don't know about tobacco and I never heard of such a thing for seet potatoes but there is a federal code or statue that prohibits growing cotton even ornamental cotton in areas that are considered bowevil free. This law doesnt prohibit an individual from growing cotton. If an individual wants to grow cotton even comercial farmers they must file a form and pay a fee based on acreage or $40 for home gardeners. The fee registers you as a grower and pays for an extension agent to set up a monitor trap for the boweevil. People that are in violation could be fined and the government came destroy the crop as a means to prevent the reintroduction of the boweevil. I fill out this form each year for an interpretive garden I plant at a historic plantation in SC. Rodger
