Tobacco Crisis Warns Kentucky Growers Conference Urges Calm
Seven leading tobacco men warned at a Lexington meeting that the tobacco situation in Kentucky is the most critical in Burley history. The conference outlined farm losses from high-price purchases, large bank loans, and merchant debts tied to this season’s crop. Production costs exceed 60 cents a pound with market openings seen at 15 to 25 or 30 cents.
