The Tobacco Grower
CTGR has launched two new series of articles, The Tobacco Grower and FDA Issue Briefs. The Tobacco Grower will talk about issues important to the industry such as H-2A labor and mechanization, as well as, grower characteristics and concerns as collected by three years of surveys and focus groups conducted by CTGR. FDA Issue Briefs will follow the new FDA regulation and provide summaries of the legislation and issues being discussed by the Center for Tobacco Products. Please check back as we will be adding new articles each month.
