TOBACCO : NEW MARKETS, OLD TRADITIONS: 3_0_333_1web_rh03

Farm hand Harry Dingles, 66, bundles cured tobacco at Shelly Farms in the Pleasant View community of Horry County, South Carolina July 26, 2013. Dingles has worked at the farm his entire adult life and grew up with the farm's owner Johnny Shelley. The traditional tobacco harvest requires many labor intensive hours to bring the crop to market, especially with the flue-cured variety prominent in the southern United States. With the growing health concerns with smoking in the US, most farmers use market cooperatives to sell their crop to the growing markets in China. Picture taken on July 26, 2013.
