Cavey, nice tour. We never grew tobacco. I did have an Uncle that grew some one time. I was quite young at the time. He just grew it for himself. I do remember him plowing it with a mule. Nice photos thanks. CF  |

Nice pics Cavey. We just came back from KY and it looked like a poor year for tobacco in Barren & Allen counties.
The crop was only half as tall as a normal year.

Gidday
We used to have quite a good sized tobacco export industry from our provence of Nelson. But we are way too bloody P.C. to grow the stuff commercially now days.

As everone can see, tobacco is a young man's job......in the first link you see it's only the young guys up in the barn with the old timers sittin around tellin'em what to do  |
