Connecticut Tobacco Farm - America's Heartland

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.

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.

[@brandonhoneycutt4234]

I like tobacco keep growing

[@ricardopiquant2492]

beautiful plants

[@signuptowatchshite]

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

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.

[@bigboat8329]

Are you talking about condensation? It's not chemtrails. It's the hot air exiting a plane's engines that mixes with the cold air up high in altitude that crystallizes and condenses, making a 'trail'. Its no chemicals, it's the laws of thermodynamics.

connecticut broad leaf in west virginia？witchcraft i say！warlock！

[@ryanehlis426]

Yup the Chemtrails, they are up to NO GOOD! You can be sure it’s bad news because they lie and try and cover it up.

@@ryanehlis426 Ah yes, I am a shill because I understand that when hot air comes in contact with freezing cold air, it turns into ice. We have truly progressed to a high-level of groundbreaking critical thinking here.

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.

In small doses, nicotine alleviates headaches, anxiety, and depression. Native Americans used them for medicinal and religious purposes for millennia

The fruits of a tobacco farmer's labor are hacking coughs, oxygen bottles, the shaved heads of chemotherapy patients and weeping men, women and children in their best clothes at wakes.
