Most sociological studies classify all farmers in a single category, usually the petty bourgeoisie or “middle class.” Recent studies, however, have criticized this view and have demonstrated how factors such as land, capital, labor, and management differentiate agricultural producers. Further, Mooney argues that the subjective elements of the class structure of agriculture have been ignored. This article examines the subjective and objective elements of the class structure in tobacco production. Data collected form a random sample of flue-cured tobacco growers and allotment holders in Pitt County, North Carolina, indicate that measures of class were relatively poor predictors of support for government intervention and for the tobacco program. The implications of these findings for class analyses of agriculture and New Deal farm programs are suggested
