I’ve considered a tobacco crop.

Is it hard to grow in Texas?

[JRandomFreeper]

It wasn't difficult to grow in another part of N. Texas, but I'm having Ole Billy with it here at the family estate property. Sandy here, black gumbo where I grew it before.

I'll be able to answer your question in a few years, after I get the kinks worked out or give up.

If you can grow petunias you can grow tobacco. Lots of it planted around here, my dad’s family were tobacco planters going way back. Tobacco likes hot humid weather and a thunderstorm every couple of days with baking sun in between. East Texas should work, west I don’t know. Burley works in cooler climes, brightleaf in hotter ones. Burley is easier to cure.
