The 2013 Tobacco Crop is in the ground!

| The plants are started in the greenhouse in early march and are ready to be transplanted in May. |

 |
| The tobacco is plowed to keep the ground loose and help control weeds. |
 |
| The tobacco has to be weeded manually between the plants to control weeds. Chopping out tobacco is a big job especially on a hot day! |
 |
| Nothing better than the smell of freshly tilled ground. |
