I have some relatives who do tobacco farming.  They chose tobacco as
their main crop because it is the crop the government subsidizes to the
highest degree.  Even if there's crop failure, they probably won't lose
money.  The US government subsides tobacco better than it does diary
farms and tomato farms.
