Extract

Exports have played an important role in the history of southern agriculture. C. E. Bishop noted more than two decades ago that “southern agriculture has a high stake in international trade.” In recent years, the effects of exports on the southern region have become even more pervasive. Rudd was recently led to observe that “the shift to a substantially greater involvement and interdependency of agriculture in international trade during the 1970s is perhaps the most far-reaching event of [that] decade.”
