  • Say "tobacco farming" and people usually think of leafy fields in the south and southeast. But Connecticut farmers have been raising a particular type of tobacco for more than a century.

    bein from Kentucky this is strange to think of tobacco bein grown up north. Different type and that harvest method may be even more back breaking than how we do it, but our baccy is for smoking and chewing depending on whether its burley or dark firecured

    I am from North Carolina. Growing tobacco was a great way of life. I grew 27 crops of flue-cured. The in tobacco was a great economic generator for all types of jobs and businesses.

    Grew some Connecticut Broad leaf here in West Virginia in 2013. It did well, despite the rain. Wonder what you are thinking about these spray planes we're seeing all over. They're leaving a trail behind that spreads out and obscures the sky.
    I don't know how you feel, but to me losing half of the sunlight, almost every day is quite disturbing.

    Adamm ---Houses are the crop that have taken tobacco land. Try contacting the Connecticut Valley Tobacco Museum for more information. Local white kids as you describe them are hired to an extent. Many of them don't want to work the hard sunny hours in the fields. And the farm co-op that Connecticut farmers hire are legal short term workers who return home at the end of the season.
