QID New England Shade Tobacco Inquiry - Dec

Project Code 195		O.M.B. Number 0535-0002 Approval Expires 06/30/2012
NEW ENGLAND SHADE TOBACCO INQUIRY – <CROP YEAR – 1 CROP> – DECEMBER
NOTE: For U.S. tobacco grown outside of New England, the preliminary prices and values for the most recently harvested crop are published in the “Crop Values – Annual Summary” in February of the year following harvest. However, the extended marketing year for New England Shade tobacco requires that a separate standalone production and price survey be conducted in the December of the year following harvest. In December 2012, final marketed production and market year average prices for the 2011 Shade Tobacco crop will be collected. The February 2013 Annual Crop Values Summary will be the first time a Shade Tobacco price for the 2011 crop will be published by NASS . This survey was kept separate from the other “December Tobacco Inquiry” since it references a different crop year.				NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS SERVICE
