CHANGING TOBACCO MARKETS: EFFECTS ON BURLEY TOBACCO FARMS

Abstract

Three representative Tennessee tobacco farms are used to estimate farm-level impacts of (1) program continuation with further quota cuts, and (2) program elimination in 2000. Results indicate that program elimination has more potential to reduce farm income and that larger and more diversified farms are less affected in both scenarios.tobacco, farm-level analysis, representative farms, Tennessee agriculture, Agricultural and Food Policy, Crop Production/Industries,
