Filling the gap: Farmers line up for a seat at the GAP farmer training session at the Southern Farm Show several years ago. A similar farmer training meeting will be held at this year's show (February 4--see details below). File photo by Christopher Bickers.
A BIG MONTH FOR TOBACCO FARMERS
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: SOUTHERN FARM SHOW IN RALEIGH Then last of GAP meetings in March
The Southern Farm Show is back this week after a year off because of COVID, and a good time is promised for all. Sadly, there has been some attrition among the exhibitors. I have compiled a list of exhibitors who are seeking the business of tobacco farmers (below). It's not as long as it used to be, but there are plenty to occupy your attention for three days. And at the end of the three days, plan on attending the Tobacco Growers Association of North Carolina for a good program on current tobacco events.
