[QUOTE="SDM, post: 1638654, member: 29631"] We were amateurs. Had the guy with the spear following the cutter. The worst was waiting on the spearer. Was too late but finally learned to cut then come back to spear. I heard about the KY folks doing both at the same time. Had a strap on the knife around their wrist. Let go of the knife to spear it. I never advanced to that level. Amateur. Then I moved east to where they just pull the leaves off in the field. Now they don't even have to do that. The harvester does it. Just sort a few suckers out and it goes in the barn. Old folks here talk about splitting standing dark tobacco stalks and then cutting when you get low enough. Fewer leaves/shorter stalks I guess, but I'd have been fired before lunch trying to do that. I miss it. Wish I had 5 or so acres now. More money than a calf. [/QUOTE]
