WOW!!! The part that struck me the most in this guide is the high amount of chemicals, especially pesticides, that are recommended in producing Flue Cured Tobacco. Very high levels. Otherwise, a very informative guide with regard to the proper curing process.

Talk about comprehensive ! I skimmed it all and read what was of interest. Most of it to me, a small grower, was wasted. I now have a better understanding of what big growers face. With the cost of fuel, fertilizer and labor I don't understand how you folks do it. My hats off to you !
