Keep me in mind for next year's start of growing season, too. I am wanting just a handful of baby plants [transplants] to grow myself. It is a beautiful and fragrant plant, too.

I saw a field of burley that had already been taken to the barn last week (week of July 23) up in Henry County, north of Eminence. I just topped mine two weeks ago, so it's still three or four weeks away from time to cut.

Dark air cured....how many acres have I raised? Leased out the burley & grew the DAC or "one sucker" as its called here. Often thought how I must have been one sucker to keep raising it. Had to pay help by the hour rather than the stick so they'd slow down enough not to ruin it breaking leaves off cutting & spiking. Base was assigned by acre instead of pounds so you couldn't raise a little extra to compensate for poor handling. Don't miss it one bit.

we would cut our one sucker tobacco and then start a second crop off a sucker that grew off the original stalk stub. that really sucked if you were a kid and hated raising tobacco.

Anyone got any air-dried, insecticide-free tobacco leaves to sell? I never got any transplants shipped to me because of my recent moved, but I know I can still feed out lab-reared caterpillars on reconstituted dried leaves. I just can't have any bug-killing residues left on them, or my project is SUNK!

The green houses have moved the schedule up a tad. When I was a kid we very seldom started cutting Burely before Labor Day. Now it starts any time between the last of July on through to Labor Day. I helped all the neighbors 30 years ago, but I think I will pass now. I am lucky to get my 15 acres in the barn.

When do you start George? I'm coming to Taylor Co. labor day for a week and would like to see some Tobbaco being cut and handled much as my Grand Dad did when I was a kid back in the late 40's and 50's. My Grand Dad was a Tobbaco chewing,Banjo playing and singing Irishman,A teller of tall tales and a Mule Wrestler and a Champion Rattlesnake catcher from Bradfordsville Ky. and I miss him very much.

I am planning on the 10 of September. That will of course depend on the weather a little. Taylor County is more than 100 miles from me, but I suspect they will be cutting there too. There should be lots of tobacco being cut around Labor Day. It is a job that will seperate them men from everyone else. I am still a fair hand on the bottom rail or any for that matter. Not much of a cutter now days though. Cutting is for the 15 to 35 year olds. I can cut as many for a while as I ever could, but it nearly kills me now.
