One of our stops on the Saturday tour was a tobacco farm. I’m no expert but his crop looked to be in great shape and you can see pictures of it in the photo album. Here’s Harlan Persinger sniffing some dried tobacco that was on display. We didn’t get to chew or smoke any though.

The farmer gave the group a talk about growing tobacco and had several representatives on hand who also provided comments about farming in Kentucky.

Our bus driver, affectionately know as Beanie, did a great job taking care of us as we made our way around the beautiful countryside. I interviewed him during our last leg back to the hotel and he talks about the horse business in particular. He says that people come from all over the world to buy horses just based on their blood lines and before they’ve even been proven on the track: ams-07-beanie.mp3
