Kentucky's agriculture and immigrants

The Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association has closely monitored current legislative efforts to affect Kentucky immigrant residents and citizens. Much has been written blaming the federal government for its inaction that led to this emotional crossroads.

The Co-op represents all burley growers in five states — primarily Kentucky. We are a marketing co-op but also serve as the primary policy representative for burley growers in Frankfort and Washington.
