Remembering North Carolina Tobacco

By: Billy Yeargin

North Carolina's tobacco heritage comes to life in this volume of stories and remembrances from traditional tobacco farmers and cultivators. When early settlers struggled to grow anything at all in North Carolina's sandy soil, tobacco was a boon that became a way of life. The lives of many North Carolinians continue to revolve around the growth cycle of the tobacco plant, from laying-by to cropping and curing. In this collection of nostalgic memories, tobacco historian Bill Yeargin and others reminisce about the frustrations of slugs and tar, the cropping of dew-drenched leaves, the aching beauty of a tobacco bloom and the ultimate connection of man with earth—a connection that is slowly fading with each new generation.

North Carolina Tobacco

A History

A History of Burley Tobacco in East Tennessee & Western North Carolina

By: Billy Yeargin

Burley tobacco revolutionized the industry in east Tennessee and western North Carolina. What started from two farmers planting white burley in Greeneville ignited an agricultural revolution and significantly changed crops, production and quality. Burley transformed the tobacco industry with new cultivation techniques and a shift from dark and flue-cured tobacco. By the 1990s, burley tobacco production in the region had drastically declined, and it is a tradition that few local farmers still practice. Agricultural experts Billy Yeargin and Christopher Bickers take a nostalgic look at the historic rise of burley tobacco and its gradual decline.
