The Maryland-type tobacco that
Pennsylvania has been producing
for the last 10 to 15 years, said
Probst, “is a substitute for tobac
cos that are produced in the south.
And it is used in a blend with
tobaccos that come from the
south.”
Probst said the 609 type is
blended, primarily because the
south produces about 450 to 500
million pounds more per year of
tobacco in the south than in the
north.

“We still have farmers willing
to produce tobacco, which is a high
intensive labor crop,” he said.
“And our farmers generally have
large families, produce their labor,
and do not have to hire outside
labor.”
For the last 3 to 4 years, accord
ing toProbst, “we’ve been gaining
export value greatly. Export mark
ets haven’t always been open to
U.S. domestic tobacco. Now,
tobacco has a worldwide demand
greater than ever.”
