Synopsis
Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 69: Devoted to Practical and Progressive Agriculture, Horticulture, Trucking, Live Stock and the Fireside; September, 1908
There is still complaint of the scarcity of labor, though nearly all the farmers are using more labor than they need if they would use better implements. On.'the beau tiful level flats near the Roanoke river. On the Norfolk line of the Atlantic Coast Line, I saw in one field five men with five mules, each pulling a turning plow, going four times in a row banking up the soil to the cotton, and of course damaging the roots, while a single pair of mules, driven by one hand riding on a two-row cultivator, would have done as much work' as the five, and would have done it better for the crop.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book on Virginia's agricultural history from 1607 to the present day chronicles the history of farming within one of America's most prominent tobacco producing states. The author traces the development of the industry from its early days as a cash crop until the present era, where Virginia's tobacco farmers face increased regulation and decreasing demand. The author also provides an examination of how the tobacco industry has shaped the state and the nation over the centuries and the historical narrative is supported by over 100 images and dozens of sidebars that add depth and detail to the story. With a particular focus on the 20th century, when tobacco production dramatically changed, the book examines how advances in science and technology, along with changing markets and government policies, reshaped the industry and the lives of Virginia's farmers.
