Members of the tobacco harvesting crew pass sticks of tobacco from a wagon on ground level to the top of the barn to be hung as a part of the Perkins Family Farm. The Perkins Family Farm, run by Wilbert Perkins, 77, Roger Perkins, 54, and R.W. Eldridge, 25, works 37 acres of burley tobacco on land in Franklin and Owen Counties. State Journal/Hilly Schiffer
