We go to market on Monday's and Wednesday's to sell our crop and today I remembered the camera! So come along and see how it happens at the warehouse!
All lined up and waiting their turn!
Weighing and grading!
Nothing goes to waste!
Jessie has brought her tobacco to market today!
Moving Miss jessie's over to the sold piles! Hope she got top price!
It's our turn!
Coming down the scale!
Price decision makers!!
Keep it coming!
THIS is TOP price! Thank you!!
Last bale for us today! We are leaving happy!
Waiting for the big rigs!
See you next Monday!!
When I went in to the office I was hoping to see something beautiful that one of the owners wives had promised to bring. And it was there!
This afghan was crocheted by the grandmother of the warehouse owners using the twine that they used years ago in hanging the tobacco leaves in the curing barns!
Notice the spool of twine at the young woman's feet.
Photo found here.
And with that, you have had your NC history lesson for the day! :)

This post was very interesting. I loved seeing and reading about the process you go through to market your product. Thanks for sharing.... Smiles!!!!
LOVE it, thanks so much for sharing this!
Enjoyed your post so much. Thanks. Do you dry the leaves before bringing them to market? If you have time I'd love to see a picture of a tobacco field or plant. No tobacco in Minnesota - only wheat/corn/soybeans
As always, Thearica, I enjoyed learning more about farming. I'm a city girl in New Jersey! lol
That afghan is gorgeous!!!

That was very interesting. I grew up with wheat fields, pea fields, and asparagus fields. As kids we would play in the harvested wheat in the truck on the way to the grain elevator. The afghan you showed reminded me of a table cloth I have that my mother made of string that we used on a machine in the plywood mill where I worked for several years. Love memories. Thanks!
Now I understand why Butch has such dirty clothes LOL! As a young girl I grew up in Maine and remember the days of picking potatoes.... one thing I remember is how hard a life the farmer life was so appreciate all the work involved.
Pretty pretty afghan. Wish I had stuck to crocheting to learn how to make something so beautiful./
Because little ones we will perform within the cut down wheat or grain inside the 18 wheeler on how to the grain lift. The particular sheepskin coat anyone demonstrated reminded me of a new table textile We've in which a mommy produced from thread that him and i attached to a unit during the plywood factory where by My spouse and i been effective for quite a while. Really like memories. Thanks!
