Tobacco cutters turn farmwork into a spectator sport

Garrard County has held a tobacco cutting contest for 37 years. This year (2018), a Laurel County man took home the prize for a record 14th time.

I remember working in Lexington Kentucky in the tobacco for a very nice man Mr. Charles Wyatt . It took me a while to get the hang of it and I was the fastest one by the time I came back home to Texas . I was faster than the man in this video . I wouldn't mind giving it another shot at my age now . Bet I can still put up a challenge 😊

This was how I got my school clothes money as a kid.

We dropped sticks ahead of the cutting, no one held our sticks for us.
