Do You Think Tobacco Farming Will Make A Comeback in The Future?

I think it will and for good reasons.

I doubt it. My grandfather was a tobacco farmer and eventually switched to other crops.

Tobacco has all kinds of medicinal uses (and is still used in certain pharmaceuticals). Modern medicine just hasn't caught up with Native American medicine yet...

@wildbill83 true and because they won’t reap a fortune on it like they have with chemical-based pharmaceuticals.

Honest question. Why do you think it will make a comeback?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@hippyjoe1955 Not for smoking, for greenhouse pesticide. I believe in the future we will have more local greenhouse to grow food instead of importing so much of it and risking food poisoning. Also research is being done on it for medical use such as killing cancer, killing viruses even Covid, and arthritis.

@cherokeepatti OK. Good answer. Greenhouses can be very expensive to operate to grow food. There was a place at our airport that was growing hydroponic weed. They went broke. Not enough money in commercial weed.
I have a hard time believing most farming will survive at this point

@pripyatamusementpark look at the backyard chicken thing happening due to the price of eggs. Not for everybody but it sure helps out especially if someone has an acreage and can raise a 100 hens for eggs. That can feed quite few families eggs. Gotta know what you are doing though.
@cherokeepatti I have always wanted to do that ...just need to get my hubs on board

@pripyatamusementpark I had some chickens when I was younger, had to learn a few things on caring for them. There are natural things you can do to help with their health for example.

Pot Farming will replace the tobacco fields.

@Iwillwait Oklahoma has more medical marijuana grow licenses than all the other states combined. I would rather see massive hemp growing, the fiber and seeds are really important.

@cherokeepatti RJ Reynolds, Phillip Morris are already poised with the ability to convert overnight their plantations/farms to Cannabis. They're just waiting for the Federal Lift of criminalization.

@FreestyleArt People can't honestly be voting for him. There has to be some cheating going on.

@Musicman There was during the recall back in 2020. I've been tuning in for some criminal activities illegally discarding anyone votes, and some moronic ways they got caught when it comes in the favor of Drugs for some reason.
