DOWNLOAD EBOOKExtract: Excluding land and quota costs, it cost $1,612 per acre, or $85 per 100 pounds, to produce flue-cured tobacco in 1979. Including land and quota pushed total costs to $2,300 per acre or $121 per 100 pounds when land and quota values were based on average net share rent paid. This study examines national and regional costs on farms with various acreages of tobacco, and costs under different methods of harvesting tobacco.
