CAMPAIGN for TOBACCO-FREE Kids NATIONAL CENTER FOR TOBACCO-FREE KIDS TO: Bruce Reed TOBACCO- FROM: Danny McGoldrick Pous Director, Research DATE: 04/06/98 SUBJECT: Survey of Kentucky Tobacco Farmers Matt Myers asked me to send you the attached material from a recent survey we conducted with 400 Kentucky tobacco farmers. I have included a brief summary of the key findings, along with a an annotated questionnaire that displays all of the results. The survey provides a glimpse of the uncertainty that the farmers feel about their future, as well as some of their concerns as they consider a potential buyout. I hope the findings will be useful as the President visits Kentucky on Thursday. Please feel free to give me a call should you have any questions about the survey.
