Tobacco varies drastically in shape and size between varieties. It is not uncommon at all to see Virginia and even Burley reach 7 feet tall. I believe this variety is Burley. The leaves do seem unusually upturned. From the looks of it, it has been left in the field a bit to long and the plants are overly mature.

haha, your watching my childhood

Use to do that for extra money growing up in Hart Co. KY. It was hard work after a while, but it was good money at the time if you where fast, since we got paid by the stick. Also hand harvested corn ears by hand with a hook glove, and worked baling hay fields. It was a good way to grow up. At least it was for me. I thought I was going to be a professional farm worker so I also was in FFA, and other ag related things, but ended up being an HVAC contractor, lol. Thx for sharing this.

real fun when you run your hand onto that spike

It looks similar to the tobacco that one of my Grandfather's friends was growing out in Eastern Kentucky back in the 90's. I seem to remember those plants being quite big and I was a big teenager at the time.

That is a back breaking job now.Do that all day long and you can say you done a days work.

that tobacco ain't worth a fuck, i'd say it might average around 2000 lbs an acre, bottom leaves are burnt up....id say most of those bottom leaves wont make it to the market...and this dude needs to cut them lower cause i bet when they haul, majority of the tip leaves will be ripped when they pick the sticks up

I did that growing up in Hart Co., and in Grayson Co. for local farmers. I got paid by the stick. Iwas hard and hot work, but I loved doing it. Also picked it up out of the fields and hung in the Tobacco barns. Always tried to get top tier, lol. Also had a couple of farmers I used to hand pick acres of corn ears. I used a hook glove to cut the corn off the stalk and then pitched it on the wagon. Picked cucumbers one Summer, but decided I'd not do that again. Thanks for sharing this.
