No, because the plantation economy has long since died out, due to increased production methods driving prices down to barely profitable, barely sustainable measures unless the entire operation is corporation owned and machine run. The market no longer considers tobacco a cash crop, but the end product can be sold at profit. The crop itself is not worth the time and effort of gathering by hand due to the efficiency of machine harvesters that now make most traditional farming methods obsolete. The South is no longer a region of vast agricultural wealth due to the natural lowering of crop prices, the obsolescence of plantations, and the lack of profitability when compared to more efficient corporate run procedures.
