A BIGGER CROP THAN EXPECTED

Despite extreme weather conditions over much of the Tobacco Belt earlier this season and reduced acreage for almost all types, USDA predicted in its August production report that: 
  • Flue-cured growers will produce a volume of 314.7 million pounds, down only 7 percent from 2018,  
  • Burley growers will produce a volume of 105.7 million pounds, up 5.2 percent from 2018, and 
  • Dark air-cured growers will produce a volume of 28.6 million pounds, up 7.7 percent from 2018. 
  • But fire-cured, Pennsylvania seedleaf and Southern Maryland were all projected down substantially. 
Among the individual states and types, the projections were: 

Flue-cured: NC---244 million pounds, down 2.7 percent. VA--35.7 million pounds, down 15 percent. GA--18 million pounds, down 24 percent. SC--17 million pounds, down 23.2 percent.


Burley: KY--90 million pounds, up 12.5 percent. TN--8 million pounds, down 11.2 percent. PA--5.75 million pounds, down 34.6 percent. VA--1.26 million pounds, down 16 percent. NC --720,000 pounds, down 36 percent.



Other types: Fire-cured--47 million pounds, down 19 percent. Dark air-cured--28.66 million pounds, up 7.7 percent. Pa. Seedleaf-- 5.06 million pounds, 8.3 percent down. Southern Maryland--2.3 million pounds, down 25.3 percent. 
 
All tobacco production was forecast at 504 million pounds, down five percent from 2018. Yield for the 2019 crop year is forecast at 2,110 pounds per acre, 280 pounds above last year. Area harvested, at 238,920 acres, is down 18 percent from last year. If realized, this will be the lowest harvested acreage on record.

  3. First, I want to complement this site administrator for creating this platform I frequently get cold sores(which lasts for 5-6 days on my lips and its painful both physically and mentally) .. As a bodybuilder, I basically get outbreak due to the daily pressure and heat in the body.. Recently I stumbled upon my salvation. I found a herbal remedy to cure hsv completely, in just 4weeks ..

    I got to know about Dr Utu after seeing a lady's testimony online. I reached the doctor and I ordered for herpes herbal medicine. He sent the herbs to me and I started making use of them. In just 2days, the cold sores are cleared. 4weeks after medication, I went to the hospital for test of cold sores and it was completely NEGATIVE.

    By following every prescription, i was able to cure my cold sore in less than 4weeks. 100% natural herbs no after effect.
    Note: Please do let others know if this work for you.
    The doctor's email is drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
    Note : follow all instructions accordingly..

    If you are sure that you have benefited from this African herbs be courageous to inform others.
    Thanks in advance

  4. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.
