I redid the pictures in my two posts about my adventure working on a Kentucky tobacco farm. So you should be able to see them now. Thank you all for the help.
I think the pictures really do help give you an idea of just how hard it is to cut and hang tobacco.









I wish you’d do me and yourself a favor. Look for some of the longer posts you’ve done- 1,000 words or so and go in and add this tag to them- WPLongform. Please, I think it may help to get your longer pieces out there and maybe even Pressed. You know I am your marketing volunteer!
I could try that… just go back to old posts, edit, and add a tag?
Yes, add the tag WPLongform update or re-publish. It’s a good idea. SashaSeed may do it with the Shangri-La posts too. Oh, this is exciting. I love it when good things happen!
And I thought working in a greenhouse where it was dirty and buggy and got to 110 by 10 a.m. was hard!
That sounds hard too, but not quite as unrellenting.
Thank you! You did fix the problem now, though I had to read both posts at least twice, with and without pictures 🙂
It is a complicated method of farming stuff that kills people.
I wonder, isn’t simply breathing the air on the field or in the hanging barn bad for your health?
No. Most of what is bad for you in tobacco is chemical additives that make it burn better and other stuff they put in to keep it soft so it seems fesher. Plus the fact that you are inhaling it in the smoke which has tar and things that get inside you. I wouldn’t eat one of the plants though.
