The tobacco field is ripe for harvest, and workers are busy gathering the large green leaves.      With a mule pulling a tobacco sled full of freshly harvested tobacco leaves, the workers are finishing the day’s work.     The sled then will be pulled to the barn for the tobacco to be processed and hung in the barn to cure.     The barn is heated, and the green leaves turn to a golden color and are dried.
