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,

Thanks for the info! Don’t you have to rotate crops every so often? I heard that it really leaches the nutrients out of the ground.
