“if ya walk too much they’ll tax your feet”
Five bucks says that 27 different Federal agencies...including the IRS...will be all over his a$$ by the end of this week.
THe feds are on the way. FDA feds.
If you’re gonna do this, do it quietly.
I wonder how they would respond to a “pick your own” farm.

Hmmm.... Wonder what the feds have to say about the taxes? I'd be surprised if the 'law' lets home growers skate on the taxes.
I wonder how long it will be before we see the Pot farms in the National Forests replaced by tobacco.
Although this man is a smoker, I bet that he will be healthier too.
No additives.
I wish I knew his secret.
I’ve tried three times to raise up tobacco plants.
Good for him.
Home grown tobacco ping
I used to work in Richmond, VA. I don’t smoke and can’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke but those tobacco barns where the tobacco was cured really did have a pleasant aroma.
My Mother grew up on a farm in Florida. They grew just about everything but I can recall her saying the one thing she did not like to work with was tobacco. It was apparently very hard work.
I’m not a cigarette smoker, but I do smoke cigars. I wonder how this minimally processed tobacco tastes as a cigarette. I’m kind of surprised that this kind of home-grown or organic tobacco hasn’t sprung up.
I think this guy’s screwed. Last I’d heard, we’re allowed to grow a tenth of an acre, and can’t sell what we grow.
Thanks for the ping, Califreak.
Does anyone know what the ideal conditions are for growing tobacco? Is there something about the states that grow a lot that make them ideal, versus for example Central California?
You can buy cured tobacco at a rate of less than $5 per carton. You can buy cured and flavored pipe tobacco at a rate of less than $10 per carton. You can buy brand name cartons of cigarettes for less that $15 a carton (http://www.okcig.com/Product_info.asp?ID=195).
This is really gonna tick-off the Political Elite.
The tax man will soon pay him a visit for daring to try to get around the state’s firm control on tobacco.
...Greetings From North Carolina!!
where my neighbor will sell you tobacco for personal use...and another neighbor sells hand raised “gourmet” tobacco....this has been going on for at least three years that I know of....and BTW you have to cut the big stems out if you want clean yellow leaf for cigs....pipe guys do a different treatment and add stuff like maybe apple slices....I quit smoking five years ago, but I’ve got to say I still really like the smell of pipe tobacco.
