Tobacco Harvest: 60 Years of Burley Farming in Southwest Virginia
In this project, Ryan Burke interviewed former tobacco farmers Aaron C. Altizer, Ada Altizer, and Jeremy A. Huff to learn about tobacco farming.

All three farmed Burley tobacco, which is used in cigarette manufacture and used similar, though not identical farming methods.
