Thank you, I appreciate it. I had a really good 460 video this past summer but something went wrong trying to transfer the files from my GoPro and I lost half of it. Otherwise it has been running pretty good lately so I haven't filmed much of it. I still have to put tire chains on it for the winter, I put one out last year on doing that.
Yes that could be done also. I noticed that in the last few days it's been much more humid here and the leaves have softened up a bit. So maybe I didn't do anything wrong and late summer was just too dry.
James Brasileiro Type his name in youtube and check the 3rd video specifically. You should be able to pick up something. I have some experience in horticulture so what I can say, is you definitely will want a hygrometer so you can know your numbers for humidity and temperature for your garage. Being in a garage, i imagine your humidity is far too low and you need more air circulation. Low humidity and no air flow is definitely going to crisp out the leaves like that. I’d also like to point out that in James Brasileiros video, i can see an advantage to cutting the leaves while theyre still green and hanging them individually vs. how you did it, hang the whole plant. As you check the drying leaves, if they did get too dry too fast, this is where you can pack them up in a damp towel and place them in a pot being heated slightly off a stovetop, and begin your process of rehhydrating your leaf…the downside, like you said, definitely more labor intensive
Thanks for the info. I appreciate the suggestion, I'll check him out. We usually run pretty high humidity in Iowa in August, but this year was exceptionally dry. Indeed it probably did not have enough airflow though.
Yes I have a few options. I haven't done anything with it yet, it's still hanging in the garage waiting for a winter day when Ive got nothing else to do. I Appreciate the watch and the comment.
Thanks for the great video! I too would like to try my hand at growing tobacco. How about some more Farmal tractor videos too! Take care.
Thank you, I appreciate it.

Watching you push string up hill through the stalk reminded me of my “special ed” days. You would have fit right in.
Hey thanks Bill. I appreciate the watch!
By the way, even crunchy as it is, it might make very good pipe tobacco??

You actually didnt do anything wrong you can make pipe tobacco once it naturally gets humid in there this winter.
