Abstract

Burley tobacco is a major crash crop in Kentucky, middle and eastern Tennessee, and Southwestern Virginia. Burley tobacco acreages and the farm acreage distributions of burley tobacco have been determined by the United States Department of Agriculture since 1933. In 1966, approximately 250,000 acres of burley tobacco was alloted to farmers in the United States. The purpose of burley acreage allotments has been to equate the supply and demand for burley tobacco at a price considerably higher than that which a free market would establish.
