Mail Surveys
2009 Tobacco Survey - Current and Former Growers
The 2009 Tobacco Survey was mailed in February 2009 to current and former tobacco growers in fourteen different states with experience growing various types of tobacco.
Since the tobacco program was eliminated, significant shifts have occurred throughout traditional tobacco producing regions. Many counties have significantly decreased or increased tobacco production and several are producing types of tobacco that were not produced in the pre-buyout era. Likewise, tobacco production has expanded into new regions.
The 2009 Current and Former Growers survey captures information about changes that have occurred in production and collects growers’ views on important tobacco production and marketing issues. Additionally, information is collected from former growers about their farming operation and production decisions. The major sections of the survey cover tobacco production and marketing issues, general farm structure and demographic information.
