As the United States continues to see a decline in the number of smokers, farmers like Christian County's Dale Seay are pulling the plug on their tobacco growing operations.

The announcement is part of the federal government’s ongoing response to the months-long outbreak within dairy cattle and years-long challenges faced by the country’s poultry industry.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced last week that it’s launching a voluntary pilot program to expand testing for dairy farms to gain better insight into the virus.
