The only place I have seen tobacco last more than 3 years, a guy up the road rised it on an old hog lot for about ten years. Worked out for him. With spartin and command I start to see a down turn on mine after 3 years with dark tobacco. I try not to go back with tobacco more than 2 years and have hay/pasture for at least 6.

Here is mostly good, just need'n a rain pretty bad. Dave
