tobacco farms

Nicotine crop fields

Tobacco farms are agricultural operations that cultivate tobacco plants for commercial harvest.

The crop requires intensive labor—planting, topping, and curing the leaves—and has historically been associated with the American South: His family had worked tobacco farms in North Carolina for generations.

The term often evokes both the economic importance of the crop and its controversial health legacy.
