I’d say those were grown in media and “stripped”.  MUCH smaller stems than what we grew in plant beds.

 

Cutting and housing tobacco in 90 degree heat was NOT fun, I have to agree.

Bill, thanks for the info.

 

I've see video of the plants they drop in and I noticed the "bare root" was more of a micro plug.  The tobacco starts were in 128 cell trays it looked like.  I just did a Youtube search and found this video which gives me a much better idea:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qK11mJIJBc

 

Do large pots and strip then plant? I do not want to have to redesign my transplant infrastructure to make this work.  Then again, it may be better to pay the extra $ for a better transplanter.

 

This is what I get for never having ANYTHING contact with the tobacco farmers around us.  They would complain about harvest and we would complain about baling hay.  :)  Watching them stick tobacco I think we had a MUCH better deal.
