Burley, Dark Air, Fire Cured, and Maryland Type Tobacco Changes

Posted November 1, 2022
in ProAg News and Crop Insurance

The following changes are applicable to the burley, dark air, fire cured, and Maryland types of tobacco for the 2023 and succeeding crop years:

  • RMA will issue separate price elections for contracted and non-contracted tobacco, reflecting the additional expected value of tobacco grown under contract
  • Quality adjustment will only be available for the amount of tobacco grown under contract

Per Product Management Bulletin PM-22-073, expanding these contract provisions to the burley, dark air, fire cured, and Maryland tobacco types will help improve the integrity of the program for the additional tobacco types and make it more sustainable going forward.
