My high school used to be surrounded by tobacco farms. I worked on one one summer. Some years ago the state paid farmers to turn their land into other businesses.

My friends and I had to walk 3 miles up hill both ways to buy a bottle of M/D 20/20 or a 6 of National Bohemian. These kids today now have a very nice vineyard and winery a mile away.
