<<Our tobacco policy is all over the road, >> I remember talking to a waitress in Kentucky. She owned a 5 acre registered tobacco farm worth $5,000 per acre. The 5 acres next to hers were worth $300 per acre. The state would give her tobacco plants and she would have them planted. The feds would pay her to plow them under. One hell of a payout for $4,300 per acre. The famous Janice Shell used to be on DAR and is a smoker living in Italy. I asked her about the cost of smokes there. Much higher with taxes but she gets hers at the corner for a buck a pack because of smuggling.
