I am beautifully and wonderfully made, iconoclast, so there must be a reason for the allergies [and sensitivities in some cases].

Some Amish sell a portion [or co-op them with other farmers], of their animal feed crops in addition to their "just for cash crops". It depends upon how much land they own or can rent at a good price.

By the way...the odor of green tobacco in the field is more pungent than the dried tobacco smell. When I stated that the tobacco was in the field in front of the house, I meant it was less than 100 feet away. But, I do enjoy listening to the corn grow [it pops].

When I have EDIT at the bottom of my screen....I am removing spaces. From now on when I actually "edit", I will strike through what I am correcting.

good point.

Stress, Anxiety Can Make Allergy Attacks Even More Miserable And Last Longer
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/...80814154327.htm
A new study shows that even slight stress and anxiety can substantially worsen a person's allergic reaction to some routine allergens.

Moreover, the added impact of stress and anxiety seem to linger, causing the second day of a stressed person's allergy attack to be much worse.

The finding, the latest in more than three decades of study on stress and immunity, is important since allergic reactions are the fifth-most-common chronic disease in America, and medical costs to treat them can reach $3.4 billion each year

So what hurt the farmers more, the hail or the recent smoking ban? Unless global warming caused the hail and we caused global warming we're not on control of the forces of nature. The gods in Harrisburg are in control of smoking bans so they may be affecting the price of tobacco. Not that pml has changed her consumption, but less determined people may have.
