Great Vid Justin, Thanks for sharing it.
I wonder though, does the strip plowing help retain the soils nutrients
as well as protect the top soil. I've seen many pictures of yellowed
soil from tobacco farming.

Thanks, Sparks. Extremely interesting stuff. Makes me think we don't pay enough for tobacco, especially blends with dark fired.

It's a very interesting process and a good video detailing the start through finish. Also makes you think about how dark fired and Latakia are more carcinogenic.

I love both Latakia and dark fired tobaccos. I had no idea about the additional carcinogenic. Something else to worry about. Ugh Eh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Probably just as carcinogenic as smoked ribs, balogna, deli meats, among other things also smoked and full of sodium nitrates. They're now saying you shouldn't even eat processed deli meats or hot dogs once a week. I love dark fired but Latakia is about a once or twice a month average for me. |

Thanks for posting the video. Informative video to watch the process from seedling to end of processing... Thanks for the thread bump, I missed it on the first go around. I never realized that it is such a labor intensive crop....throw in hail storms, and unseasonably cold snap before harvesting, drought, etc.....growing this stuff is not for the faint of heart. |

I am lucky enough to see and smell this process up close every year. Google black patch tobacco wars if you are unfamiliar with them and this area of the world.
