Farmers in western Kentucky's black patch region produce fire cured dark tobacco. Heat from burning hardwood slabs and sawdust inside tight metal barns creates finished products used in snuff and chewing tobacco.
Here, UK researchers and farmers show viewers how the process works from seed to market. Topics include greenhouse seeding, transplanting, conservation tillage, strip till, topping, sucker control, harvest, and the art of firing.
