Despite a cool, damp spring in the Ohio Valley, the Ohio Tobacco Museum successfully planted and transplanted its annual demonstration crop on the museum grounds this summer. On August 9, the museum hosted its traditional topping demonstration, which drew a strong turnout from community members.
The next step in the crop’s journey, cutting and housing, is scheduled for Saturday, August 30 at 11 a.m., weather permitting. Museum organizers encourage both longtime farmers and newcomers alike to take part. “If you’d like to give it a try—or see if you still have it—join us on August 30,” the report invites.
The museum also expressed its gratitude to several individuals and organizations for their support. Special thanks were extended to Martha Fithen, Cindy Kratzer, and the Brown County Mast
