Getting ready to cut another field this week-end

I am fascinated by tobacco crops... (sounds stupid I know) I've tried growing some and it's not like you can just throw in the ground and expect it to make a go, right? How long do you have to cure it before it's ready?

Yeah,it`s a little more than throwing a seed in the
ground.Granddaddy said to me it`s an 10 month crop.

When it`s hung up in the barn if everything goes right,
the people didn`t hang them to close (that makes `em sweat)

It`s about 50 days till its dried enough to take down
and start stripping (the leaves) into the different
grades.There are 3 distinctive grades,
