Wikipedia makes it sound like the warehouse was in Viroqua but maybe there was more than one. http://en.wikipedi...cco_Pool_Warehouse Radio2600  Location: On the Road to Wellville HY KAK TO TAK  |  Re: Tobacco Pool <Reply # 5 on 6/8/2010 4:59 AM >   Posted by Orangedrink Does your side of the river have a lot of these too? None that I know of. I think I researched it once before and found that in Wisconsin, tobacco was only farmed in the area near that warehouse.

Orangedrink  Gender: Male Phobiaphile  |  |  Re: Tobacco Pool <Reply # 6 on 6/8/2010 5:24 PM >   Tobacco was everywhere in Wisco until recently. I even did a bit of harvesting when I was younger. This is from a research paper I found on the subject: In 1920 the United states produced 1,509,212,000 pounds of tobacco or about twenty-five per cent of the world total. In that same year Wisconsin's output was 58,656,000 pounds of tobacco; of that Vernon County produced 11,626,000 pounds. Twenty-one counties in Wisconsin actually raise tobacco. The four counties of Vernon, Dane, Crawford, and Rock account for eighty-six per cent of the state's tobacco production. The paper sites this article: IV. E. Bufton, Wisconsin Tobacco Production and Marketing, Wisconsin state Department of Agriculture, BUlletin 305 -(Madison: state Printing Office, 1951), pp. 5-6. dpixel8  Location: Wisconsin Gender: Male urban playground  |  Re: Tobacco Pool <Reply # 7 on 6/10/2010 6:11 AM >   Orange, you and I should hang out sometime. I'd like to get back into this. Did it YEARS ago (UE) but then just kinda died off. And yeah, tobacco is/was huge in WI. I also as a kid spent a few summers doing just about the worst work I'd ever done before, harvesting the stuff.

What part of the state are you in? about 15 mins east of you, if you're in Madison. sunshinin  Location: DEEETROIT Gender: Female  |  |  Re: Tobacco Pool <Reply # 10 on 9/17/2010 8:10 PM >   that would be a sick dronewave band name. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunshinin //<3 u/h8 u/miss u UER Forum > Archived US: Great Lakes > Tobacco Pool (Viewed 1260 times) All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
