Hello, I run a small farm in Central Virginia with my family. This is our second year raising tobacco along with pigs,chickens,ducks, and cattle to sell at local farmers' markets. I've been a long time cigar and pipe lover and first tried raising tobacco when I was just 18 years old. Here's a photo of the 57 plants we raised last season. We've had a hard time with starts this year and lost at least 3/4 of the 100 trays we tried to seed. We now think it was because of tainted compost that we used to mix the seed starting mix. I am joining here to learn more about raising tobacco and to hopefully find someone to buy starts from for this season. Thanks!
