| 520 | |a Once iconic American symbols, tobacco farms are gradually disappearing. It is difficult for many people to lament the loss of a crop that has come to symbolize addiction, disease, and corporate deception; yet, in Kentucky, the plant has played an important role in economic development and prosperity. Burley tobacco - a light, air-cured variety used in cigarette production - has long been the Commonwealth's largest cash crop and an important aspect of regional identity, along with bourbon, bluegrass music, and thoroughbred horses. The author investigates the rapidly transforming process of raising and selling tobacco by chronicling her conversations with the farmers who know the crop best. | ||
