Managed to get 3 of the 10 acres in over the weekend. Now a couple days "off" to let the rest ripen a bit more.

I'll try to get some more pics over the next couple of weeks.

Gene that is so facinating. I've never seen a tobacco field up close. I know it must be a lot of hard work to get it harvested.
You didn't see any of those green worms did ya? :)

Thanks for sharing your pics!
