Plants are puny compared to when I was a kid, my dad would clear a field twice that size in one afternoon.
That very first guy on the line caught my attention. He is struggling something fierce. It looks like he can't hit that spear to save his life. That's what can cause you to get a spear thru your hand. Tighten up soldier! We need our smokes!

A tobacco knife? In Kentucky (I know that's where they) we always just called them tomahawks.

Ive seen ol boys yiu wouldn't think could cut 500 hundred sticks a day and cut 1500 give or take. I eas never that good. About 800 and i eas ready to fall over. Im really tall though and my back just couldn't take it. At one time we had a 80k lb tobacco base and it was all pretty much family. We rarely paid for help unless it was cutting and housing.
cool video my family grew flu cured tobacco in south carolina for years . I love the smell of flu cured when the leaves are dried out and its packed in a warehouse. Tobacco dose not get the respect it deserves for what its done in my community atleast. every one is against it now cause it causes cancer. Um what dosent cause cancer now a days. any way i loved the video very informative.
i never cared for the chop type cutters, i used a corn cutter type cutter, i don't miss doing tobacco. i grew it for 20 years.

I remember tobacco back in the 70s, I was in my teens, farmers paid 10 cents a stick, there were a lot of different sizes in acreage, and most of everyone raised it by the pound, it "" was ,strip in 3 grades, trash , lugs, tips, my dad had a 1000 lb base, I don't honestly remember how close to an acre we had, but my neighboring farmer raised 10 acres, we considered it to be Christmas money, and I also grew up in hunting and fishing, the rest is history, some people still raise that stuff, I'm in my 60s, I left it along time ago, but now for the news flash, I have heard, there are some places that won't sell cigarettes anymore, I honestly look for tobacco to be dieing and fading crop, next to all the other cancer illnesses that we humans encounter with our health, tobacco is no dam good for anyone, that's the fucking bottom line, and it's by no means a low maintenance crop, it's the most demanding of human labor around, some day there might not be anymore, I know GOD put a lot of vegetation on this planet of his for us to put use, but the science behind the research needs to be a hell of a lot better to make it a healthy, naturally I don't know all the details about tobacco, but tobacco in this known society, is a very slow poisoning, if there's any positive compounds in tobacco, I haven't ever heard of them, tobacco farmers efforts are what they are, but in my opinion, tobacco is one vegetation we don't need,
what's your problem other than you must be lonely, did your sheep die ?
