D,
Plenty of good advice, remember that tobacco is basically a weed, just refined by hybridization. Your soil type, fertility, and even ph will affect how well your 'crop' will do. The specific variety you have may or may not do well in your area, may take some "experimenting". I would not want to transplant until well after the last frost and at least 6 to 8 inches tall. We used to sow our beds in late March, early April and transplant in the middle to late May(KY). Cutworms will be the first threat then tobacco worms later. I bet the goats would like it in the green and growing stage. Several years ago UK did some research on green tobacco for protein production and actually cooked some :burley burgers:(no joke!). I heard they didn't taste too bad. Let us old burley growers know how it turns out.
