Flue-cured tobacco
U.S. Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers, Person County, North Carolina
Flue-cured tobacco is a type of cigarette tobacco. Along with burley tobacco, it accounts for more than 90% of US tobacco production. Flue-cured farming is centered in North Carolina. Production was limited by national marketing quotas and acreage allotments. It was eligible for nonrecourse price support loans until 2005, when the quota buyout program ended these programs (PL 108-357, Title VI).
