This will be part 1 of the series on tobacco.If anyone else has tobacco pics please add them to this post.I get a lot of questions about tobacco when I travel.The pics are from random years.
Here is a pic of a tobacco plant bed.The seed is small and you measure it by the teaspoon.We mixed it with sand and sowed with a yard seeder.Now a days plants are mainly raised on a floating bed of water in a greenhouse.
My son Breaking the tobacco patch with a 730 lp and 3-12 Case plow.My oldest is 14 or 15 in this 2003 or 2004 pic
Another year but same boy/plow
Putting lime or fertilizer on with the 130 farmall
Working tobacco ground with dads new 5000 and # 37 IH disc with a Case spike tooth harrow. I am 11 years old.
The Case 311b and transplanter dads driving,big brother on the left.I drove the tractor when dad had to go to work.
Filling the water tanks.
Putting furrows in to drain surface water when it rains.Tobacco will drown or scald very easy without proper drainage.I am a high school senior in this pic.
Discing up plant bed after crop is well on it's way circa 1996,my youngest is 6 and I have a string on the coil wire while he's driving in low at idle.
Case VAS cultivating tobacco.
1953 DC with footclutch cultivating
Tires to make a smooth berm that does not wash like a furrow left by a shovel.Case design works well for tire mounting as the tires are lifted off the ground instead of dragging behind our Farmall,making backing impossible without getting off tractor and hanging tires on shanks
Side dressing nitrogen with 1953 DC Case
Shop built boom sray on 1190 Case
That all I have time for-To be continued.................
