Where did all the tractors go?

Reading in our local paper today that tobacco production was up in the state of North Carolina.  It seems as I ride around town, the farms are few and far between.  Pitt County ranked 6th in the state in 2006 with just half the farms before the "tobacco buyout."

That is how my husband made a living when I met him!  His family farmed in Farmville his entire life. 

 It is amaxing to ride past Pitt Memorial.  It is now smoke-free.  That means that all the smokers "hang out" on the sidewalk because it is considered DOT property.  It is great to ride my clients past our "first rate' facility and see 30 people smoking, including employees. 

 So....the only thing that slows me down now are school buses not tractors and I drive a little faster past the hospital!
