I am looking to purchase some lockwood burley seed, We grew it up until the 1980s in WV but our seed ran out, If anyone has any to sell or has a lead on where to find it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Your best bet, might be to look it up on the GRIN database, and also the FTT database here to figure out "who" might have the seed.

I did some reading on on it, looks like a local landrace. Might have luck calling tobacco farmers in the region.

What company produced lockwood burley seed ?

Is Lockwood the company name , if so then there was probably several varieties of lockwood tobacco seeds.

it was a variety that was used in eastern KY and western WV. West Virginia university did research on his production along with other burley types in the early 1900s. As for the seed, we used to even sell the seed to folks in the 1970s/80s but ours ran out and now I would like to start it again on our farm . It seems finding the seeds is going to be a challenge .
