Ummm, I know about 20 tobacco farmers, or former farmers in SW VA, none of which have ever in their lives done it for a living, and I'm getting ready to marry a girl whose families quota was bought up about 4 years ago, and they said it made more then than the last two years they actually farmed it...

Bottom line, loss of tobacco took NOBODIES full time job in Scott County, and even made some more money than the actual tobacco had ever made them...Remember it is hard to farm tobacco without alot some expensive tractors and such as well...

Loss of coal will take the majority of jobs in SWVA, cause remember, driving over to my neck of the woods where we actually make jobs doesn't count for SWVA jobs...
