Abstract:
Previously in eastern North Carolina, July until late August has been a busy time for the tobacco farmer when the annual tobacco season came to a head. This activity was the center of life for tobacco farmers, as the barn would become a gathering place. By the 1980s this way of life had disappeared from the farms and with it a ritual in the life of the farmer. Times and technology changed the way of life into a new industry, which itself became derelict.
