Probably my most favorite crop to grow. Definitely pays better than the corn and beans. With the hassle of getting labor it's slowly dying out around me. Ps. Somone send some rain this way soon lol.

Tobacco?

Tobacco?

Yes sir

I haven't seen a tobacco field in a long time. I guess it was the last time I visited my long deceased aunt in NC decades ago. When I was a kid in the South, I saw a few farmers still growing, but even those guys ceased 50 or more years ago.

I recognize the view of the John Deere. I spent many years looking at rows of cotton from the seat of a John Deere. Now I look at pecan tree rows.

It really is a dying crop. It’s very hard to find help anymore. Even the h2a workers are getting harder to get. Plus the government regulations on the h2a workers are getting expensive

Not the old JD 40 I grew up walking behind keeping the planters unclogged and then finally graduated to driving. Man, those were very different times than now.

I wasn't around then. I'm 32. Some of the best memories growing up was in the tobacco patch. My grandfather is now gone and my dad doesn't farm anymore after he died. So it just me. Times have changed a lot in just my time. So has equipment. This 3010 is the oldest I run. Jumping off of it and getting into a r series is like a Time Machine lol

I could put that dirt in a spreader and fertilize my heavy clay with it.

Well you better run it by a certain member on here to make sure you get the right ratio before you spread it. If not you will trash the crop and burn the dirt up. And make sure you put a lab radar on the spreader. Any other chrono is off even when the drop data is right on! You might be putting on a ton when you are trying to put on 2.
