          Hi can you please explain to.me how to use this site I have tried to wire off a moderator and it does not work for me. And how do i get back to tobacco part of the site I can't seem to find a way back.

          It seems very complicated too me.

          Regards Martin

          Hi, you are on a very old thread here from 2013, you just scroll back in this thread, but as I say it old stuff, I dont think we have had much Tobacco posts recently.

              Traveling about through Virginia and North Carolina see lots of fields of tabacco, not quiet ready for harvest yet.
