What is the current price of a ton of Kentucky burley tobacco?

Burley tobacco in Kentucky and the other states that make up the U.S. burley belt is not usually sold by the ton. It is sold by the pound. On the farm it is graded and pressed into bales that way about 80 pounds. With the end of the U.S. tobacco program in 2005 the farmers have been receiving an average of about 1.50 U.S. per pound.
