I do not recommend selling tobacco from your house this man i know got a 125k fine and deportation

I love the accent the "tobacca" not tobacco!
-
After grading and tying the tobacco was placed on grading sticks that were slick so the tobacco would slide off to go on the baskets at the warehouse. You didn't have to accept the price wrote on the ticket. You culd just turn the tag. That meant the seller did not agree to the price and could then take the tobbaco back home and wait for better prices. Also, there were sleds as shown in the video. There were also those with wheels. Those latter ones were called "tobacco trucks" owing th the trudk swivel of the front wheels. Just a few points of interest. Thanks for the video.

As to mules, they are very different from horses. You can train a horse. You have to come to an agreement with a mule :) Also a horse may kick you. A mule aims :)

Brings back memories of being a teen in Florida.. One teen would get his truck and load up the back with all his friends who wanted to make a few dollars for a few hours work, helping each other out on their farms. Learned a lot and it's always good exercise.. We had a tobacco barn on our property, but we used it for the cows, horses and hog.

Tobacco is a natural product......'til the scumbap corporations get their dirty hands on it.....(-:
-
This was a great documentary :)
-
Wowwwww
-
how long after you string the tabacco is it ready? and is it easy to make snuff or snus from tabacco?
-
Very informative. it's easy to demonize tobacco industry until you see the families who depend on this industry to survive and thrive.
-
i could listen to these old boys talk about tobacco all day (im growing virginia)
-
I thought sweet potatoes was our cash crop miss ?
-
seems a little different than i remember in washington county virginia.also that crop shown was a pitiful crop and grandad was pissed all summer over it.around 1970 i am speaking of.learned more about it than i ever imagined but am able to use the knowledge to grow some world class cannabis now so it all worked out p.s. i still hate growing and producing tobacco.and i still desire to see my female cousin up in the loft hanging sticks to dry or called go into case.she needed tight shorts.
