Ok, I'll admit it first that I had to look up spelt
"Spelt (Triticum spelta), also known as dinkel wheat is a species of wheat. It is a relict crop, eaten in Central Europe and northern Spain. It is high in protein and may be considered a health food."
In biogeography and paleontology, a relict is a population or taxon of organisms that was more widespread or more diverse in the past. A relictual population is a population currently inhabiting a restricted area whose range was far wider during a previous geologic epoch. Similarly, a relictual taxon is a taxon (e.g. species or other lineage) which is the sole surviving representative of a formerly diverse group.

Spelt is more resistant to diseases than wheat and therefore requires less inputs. The nutritional value is higher than wheat. Spelt is planted in the fall. The harvest colour is more tan (brown) than gold like wheat is.Ok, I'll admit it first that I had to look up spelt

Here's tobacco just starting to flower - about a week behind due to wonky weather.
It produces between 2 800 and 3 500 pounds per acre and is worth less than $3/lb. One pound makes about 8 cartons of cigarettes. It's a great tax revenue source and is heavily regulated, with every pound accounted for, even floor sweepings. The lower 3 leaves are picked first and kiln dried for about a week. The top leaves are picked last. There is less nicotine in the lower leaves and they also weigh the least.
I picked it for 5 years, saved enough to go to college and started using my head instead of my back. The tar buildup on my hands was saved one year and made a hash ball the size of a baseball - damn was it gross when set ablaze.
I'm growing 3 plants for seeds and will use the leaves for insect spray. Nicotine is a strong neurotoxin.

Wow that's pretty wild,my buddy said it throws off a sweet smell at sunset? What did the hash ball do to you with all that nicotine? Always gotta cool situations happening.

Didn't even know this was a thing:
"According to the National Weather Service, 1 acre of corn gives off about 3,000-4,000 gallons of water each day. That added moisture in the air then increases already high dew points, making it feel even more humid on a localized scale. In the past, we've seen "corn sweat" help jump dew points above 80 degrees, which is a stifling amount of humid air. The increased humidity can then help boost heat index temperatures even higher."

There were no positives from the nicotine ball set aflame. The smell of tobacco curing is sweet and pleasant as is the cured tobacco. The odour from combusted tobacco has to this day irritates my nasal passages and is unpleasant. Dad smoked for 47 years.
Did a bit of math to calculate how much tobacco these hands picked during 5 harvests. Four others pickers on the farm did just as much. Turns out to be 150 thousand pounds or 1.2 million cartons of cigarettes each over 5 years. Today's taxes would be over $40 million on that amountof cigarettes. Makes me think I earned every cent coming to me as a government pension starting next year.
The last farmer I worked was Russian and his wife Eiginna was from Odessa, Ukraine. They came here in the mid 50s. Nine years ago in March we attended her 90th birthday. She bragged about three things - she still lived at home by herself, didn't give up her driver's license and never quit smoking. She was the glue for a hard working farming family. Her youngest son is my best friend since grade one. Blessing abound.
