The U-S Department of Agriculture has increased the tobacco quota by about one percent.
That means farmers nationwide will be able to grow almost 549- million pounds of tobacco next year.
The increase follows three years of steep cuts.
But, in Virginia, the increase probably won't offset what actually will be a smaller crop...
Many farmers exercised their right this year to sell three percent more tobacco than the quota allowed.
