Vernon Monroe County tobacco growers credit late August rain with salvaging yields after drought and hail earlier in the season. Kelly Bjornstad, tied to Cashton families, notes 95 percent of his 2acre crop will become King Edward chewing tobacco and reflects on prices around 1.08 to 1.10 per pound. He emphasizes labor, weed control, moisture, and potential farm bill impacts on support prices.
