I looked for the diamond thing around here. There was a billboard but I couldn't find it once the challenge went up. I'll see if I can get away to where the peaches grow (that sounds like a country song lol) or something like that. Maybe a grape vineyard too. I've been working 6 plus days a week for the past month or better.

I was able to get out this afternoon. Rode 42 miles. I knew tobacco would be easy, and I was looking for cotton but the bolls aren't really opening up yet. Anyway, I also get some muscadine vines for a 3-fer. Tobacco has to be topped (cut flower off the top) to concentrate flavor in the leaves. Then as the leaves cure, they are harvested at intervals, starting with the lowest and working up.

If acceptable, since 9/11 is approaching how about your bike angled so we can see the front with all lights on, in front of a Fire, Police, EMS station. Bonus points for an American flag in the photo.

Cotton, hard to see because many bolls aren't open yet

Damn dude ya hit that one out of the park. Nice job. I didn’t know all that about the tobacco harvest. Interesting stuff. And a shot of the harvester as well. I always figured that work was done by hand but it makes cents I’m assuming they treat that like a row crop. And your challenge is doable for most folks as well. 9/11 challenge it is 👊

Thanks! They do harvest a lot by hand, usually migrant labor. But tobacco makes a lot of money and some farmers invest in the harvester. They cut the back off old school buses and use them to transport the tobacco leaves. Sweet potato harvest is coming soon and they use old buses to transport those too.

Man that bus set up looks real heavy ? Perhaps a bit over kill on the build of that thing. And that harvester is weird. Would like to see that in action. The process for baccy sure is interesting. The old man brought me back these bales from Thailand. Absolutely un smokable. Roll up a pinner of the stuff and your lungs will hack right up. Pretty harsh stuff 😎
