Abstract:
Kammerer provides a description of Greenville's 61st market year in the selling of tobacco in 1951, where the bidding for a tobacco pile started at 39 cents. There were 17 tobacco warehouses in Greenville, where farmers offered their crop to the highest bidder. The life of a tobacco farmer was a gamble; one that the farmer hoped would pay off at the market.
