<p>Tobacco barns dot the landscape of Southern Maryland's Calvert County as year-round reminders of the crop that has dominated the area's economy for hundred's of years. Unseen is the story of people for whom tobacco is a culture and life. The Money Crop shares their words and memories from oral histories accompanied by a photographic story.The book captures the intensity of the labor, agriculture's impact on the family, and the cycle of activity from cultivating, cutting, hanging, and stripping, to packing for market. It is a product of an important cultural conservation project which also included the survey and documentation of significant tobacco structures in the county.</p>
