QID New England Broadleaf Tobacco Inquiry - March

Project Code 195		O.M.B. Number 0535-0002 Approval Expires 06/30/2012
NEW ENGLAND BROADLEAF TOBACCO INQUIRY – <CROP YEAR – 1 CROP> – MARCH
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 Broadleaf tobacco requires that a separate standalone production and price survey be conducted in the March of the year following harvest. In March of 2013, final marketed production and market year average price for the 2012 Broadleaf Tobacco crop will be collected. The May 2013 Crop Production report will be the first time that a Broadleaf Tobacco price for the 2012 crop will be published by NASS. This survey was kept separate from the other “March Tobacco Inquiry” since it references a different crop year.				NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS SERVICE
