The major purpose of the occupational survey was to identify the skills which are performed and essential for success for a tobacco producer. The specific objectives of this survey were: (1) develop and validate an initial task inventory for the tobacco producer, (2) identify the specific tasks performed by the tobacco producer, and (3) determine the relative importance of the specific tasks to successful employment as a tobacco producer. Procedures included constructing an initial task inventory, validating the initial inventory, selecting a sample of workers, collecting data, and analyzing data from 32 producers in Ohio. The 134 task statements were listed under eight duty areas: (1) liming and fertilizing tobacco crops, (2) controlling weeds, insects, and diseases, (3) establishing and maintaining tobacco plant beds, (4) setting tobacco, (5) topping and controlling suckers, (6) harvesting and transporting tobacco to storage, (7) housing tobacco, and (8) tying, marketing, and shipping tobacco. Half of this report consists of the list of tasks in each duty area followed by the percentage of the sample which performs that task and the average rating of importance for that task (on a scale of 1-3).
