Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas most crops drive farmers apart as they compete for the best prices, the price controls on tobacco bring growers together. The result is a culture unlike any other in America, one often forgotten or overlooked as federal and state governments fight over the spoils of the tobacco settlement. Tobacco Culture describes the process of raising a crop of burley from the perspective and experience of the farmers themselves. In the process of gathering information for the book, the authors performed most steps in the tobacco production process, from dropping plants, burning seedbeds, topping, and cutting to stripping and baling the finished product. Van Willigen and Eastwood document both present practices and historical developments in tobacco farming at the very moment a way of life stands poised for dramatic change. In addition to growing practices, the authors found other common threads linking growers and tobacco producing regions. Where tobacco is grown, it often becomes the major cash crop and carries the health of the economy. Farmer Oscar Richardson states, "It's bread and butter. It's the industry of the community, the state as a whole.... You take tobacco out of Kentucky and this farmland wouldn't be worth a nickel." Combining cultural anthropology and oral history, John van Willigen and Susan Eastwood have created a remarkable portrait of the heart of the burley belt in Central Kentucky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bulk of the world’s tobacco is produced in low- and middle-income countries. In order to dissuade these countries from implementing policies aimed at curbing tobacco consumption (such as increased taxes, health warnings, advertising bans and smoke-free environments), the tobacco industry claims that tobacco farmers will be negatively affected and that no viable, sustainable alternatives exist. This book, based on original research from three continents, exposes the myths behind these claims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a small company dedicated to doing things differently decided some twenty years ago to make as natural a tobacco product as possible, they turned to America’s tobacco farmers and proposed an unheard of proposition: How about growing organic tobacco? Today, demand for organic tobacco leaf is doubling each year. But when it was first proposed, there were more than a few skeptics. Now, many are looking at the growing practices and sustainable farming techniques developed by this small group of pioneers. Here’s the colorful history behind this new old way of farming. Organic Tobacco Growing in America is a quintessential American story of applying vision and values to innovation. More than just a practical guide on how and why to embrace organic growing, this is a story that stretches from its American Indian-inspired beginnings in the windswept high desert of northern New Mexico to the fabled tobacco roads of the southeast. Along the way, meet the growers who learned how organic farming of not just tobacco, but vegetables and other produce as well, is returning the principles of nature back to the family farm. This is a story about the rebirth of a lifestyle—a way of life that once was and now is meant to be again—for a world that yearns for sustainable, earth-friendly farming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobacco has left an indelible mark on the American South, shaping the land and culture throughout the twentieth-century. In the last few decades, advances in technology and shifts in labor and farming policy have altered the way of life for tobacco farmers: family farms have largely been replaced by large-scale operations dependent on hired labor, much of it from other shores. However, the mechanical harvester and the H-2A guestworker did not put an end to tobacco culture but rather sent it in new directions and accelerated the change that has always been part of the farmer’s life. In When Tobacco Was King, Evan Bennett examines the agriculture of the South’s original staple crop in the Old Bright Belt—a diverse region named after the unique bright, or flue-cured, tobacco variety it spawned. He traces the region’s history from Emancipation to the abandonment of federal crop controls in 2004 and highlights the transformations endured by blacks and whites, landowners and tenants, to show how tobacco farmers continued to find meaning and community in their work despite these drastic changes.

Download or read book Tobacco Harvest written by Wendell Berry and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his striking photographs, James Baker Hall powerfully conveys the physical experience of a Kentucky tobacco harvest. He captures the process from the tractor ride out to the field, where rows of tobacco stretch toward the horizon, to the careful, precise cutting of each individual plant, and finally, to hauling the crop away and housing it in the barn. Hall's snapshots of the "gathering of many hands" who come to help and the time-honored practices of the harvest capture the end of an era. Hall's stunning work is accompanied by an essay from Wendell Berry, which provides an insightful meditation on the shifting nature of humans' relationships with the land and with each other. Berry laments the economic, political, and societal changes that have forever altered Kentucky's rich agricultural traditions. He adds a deeply personal perspective to Hall's eloquent visual testimony, sharing memories of stories told, laughs shared, meals savored, and brief moments of rest and refreshment well earned. Tobacco Harvest: An Elegy is a candid portrait of a bygone way of life—a time before cheaper tobacco imported from abroad and a public awareness of the health risks associated with tobacco use nearly destroyed the industry in the United States. Berry's words and Hall's photographs offer an understanding of the high standards and perfectionism required to produce a good harvest, as well as a glimpse of the hot sun, the dirt, and the people hard at work.

Book excerpt: If you only want to grow ornamental varieties of tobacco with huge showy leaves and dramatic sprays of colorful flowers as landscape plants around the house, or as container specimens for casual conversation around the barbeque, you won't need this book. The tobacco plant is as easy to grow as tomatoes or green peppers. Once it gets started, it grows with very basic care and attention. If you are not a tobacco smoker, or do not use any tobacco products, this book is not for you. However, if you are a tobacco smoker, or use other tobacco products, if you want to know how to grow natural tobacco and harvest it in such a way that it produces fine high quality tobacco leaf, and if you want to know how to dry and cure it properly for smoking or other uses, then this book is for you! If you don't smoke or otherwise use tobacco products, the joys of heirloom tobacco gardening need not be a reason for you to start. It is for those of us already bound to this deadly plant of the nightshade family to take responsibility for its cultivation. The home tobacco gardener joins ranks with a long diverse history of growers from ancient tobacco shamans to contemporary rural tobacco farmers. The heirloom tobacco garden is a valued tradition just as useful and rewarding for tobacco users today as it has been for ages. My first crop of home grown tobacco was an experiment. I had started smoking a pipe, to break the cigarette habit, and found pipe tobaccos much more flavorful and satisfying, and even less expensive than generic cigarettes. At some point I thought, wouldn't it be great to grow my own natural tobacco and have plenty of good quality leaf to smoke and never have to pay for it again. I looked into it further, found out more about how to do it, and that it is perfectly legal in the USA to grow up to 1/10th an acre per household for personal use, tax free! So, with basic gardening knowledge, I grew a small tobacco garden in containers on my backyard terrace. While it grew, I researched into how to grow and process tobacco, and how to cure it for smoking. I learned many things from that first tobacco garden, as I fought the caterpillars for the first crop, and finally harvested a surprising amount of leaf. After curing, I allowed it to age for a couple of anxious months before the first smoke. The first smoke was a little harsh, but the aroma and flavor was so fresh and rich. I have literally never smoked anything like it before. Several of my smoking friends agreed - it was the best tobacco they had ever smoked! Tobacco mellows with age, and the flavor and aroma just gets richer and smoother and more satisfying. I grew other crops of different varieties of tobacco, and gradually over the years learned much more by further research and experience. Now, my smoking friends wait anxiously with me for a sample of the next crop from my tobacco garden. It is an indescribable experience to discover different varieties of unblended tobacco have their own distinctive taste and aroma. This is the heirloom tobacco garden. By growing my own natural tobacco, I not only dramatically improved the quality of tobacco I smoked, but eventually even changed how and why I smoke. Natural tobacco grown in the home garden is incomparable to commercial tobacco. It is richer in flavor and packs a much more powerful punch. A much smaller amount of natural tobacco is enjoyed much more over a longer period of time. Heirloom tobacco from the home garden is without a doubt the best quality natural tobacco anywhere in the world. Tobacco is not a particularly difficult plant to grow. Across the world and over the ages, tobacco was grown traditionally on farms and in family gardens. It was cultivated by Native American Indians for centuries before colonialists in North America grew so much of it that it became one of their first commodities exported to Europe. The historical record notes that tobacco from the colonies became preferred in Eur
