Ok, I thought the libs wanted to do away with tobacco? Why are they worried that someone can't get laborers to harvest it? If there really is a problem, which I very much doubt, it is due to the bad press tobacco gets and the brainwashing that the young kids who would be doing these jobs get against coming in contact with tobacco in any form!
