There’s just nothing like picking tobacco worms on a hot summer day.

My plants always die when they are about the size of a teardrop.

Cutting the stuff in September was close to equaling that

Anything that will hurt tobacco needs a pretty strong remedy. Hornworms can wipe you out quickly. Anything you spray on tobbaco will hurt you pretty quickly.

I`ve picked tobacco worms,but only when it was to wet
to get the high-boy in the fields.

We sprayed 4 acres yesterday with Orthene,much easier
than hand picking worms.We have a few flea beatles also

The hard work comes when cuttin` time arrives,but sounds
like you know a bit about tobacco
