(CBS) Tobacco, once the number-one crop in North Carolina, has now
been replaced by something that's causing the state an even bigger
headache: hogs. Right now in North Carolina there are more pigs than
people.

Correspondent Morley Safer first reported on this story from North
Carolina in 1996. Now, seven years later, nothing seems to have
changed.

In fact, it appears to be worse, and new studies reported a few weeks
ago by the New York Times indicate that there might be very serious
health problems for people living close to the fumes from hog waste
-- a big problem for a state that right now has more pigs than people.
