@MyPathOfTotality "Ah cool. It's called a tobacco looping horse. I spent many years helping my uncle on his farm". [c=#008099] Oh! Very good! I was born and raised on a tobacco farm in the most southerly point of land in Canada, right along the north shore of Lake Erie. As a teenager, I would drive a small tractor pulling a wagon load of tobacco from the fields to the drying kilns, where migrant farm workers from Jamaica would hang the racks of tobacco leaves in the kiln for drying. My job was the tractor driver and motivational source of influence![/c]
@swirlie Wow that's cool. My job was priming it and the field and putting it on the trailer. We would fill up all 7 or 8 trailers at one time and then after lunch we will take it to the barn. He had a mechanical looper which was a big giant conveyor belt that's sew the tobacco onto the sticks. My job at the barn was to cut the string and carry the tobacco on the stick inside the barn. That was a lot of hot, hard work.
