A lot of the rain ran off and a week later, we were dry again. We didn't get rainfall that was spread out through the growing year, which is what really hurt us. |
It was really a bad drought for us because all of the rain fell in a couple of days, or when a hurricane came through. |
Since the (government) buyout came through, we're contracting out our tobacco. We're getting approximately $1.55 a pound this year where last year we got approximately $2 a pound. |
We're fortunate that we have cattle and the cattle market is pretty good right now. |
