Photos from Main Street Blackshear's post

100 YEARS AGO TODAY..... The forward thinking farmers of Pierce County realized that cotton could no longer be king and turned to tobacco. Due to the boll weevil sweeping over acres of cotton, Pierce County’s agricultural economy turned to a new money crop, tobacco.

Excerpts from The Blackshear Times, tell of the event. “Today marked an epoch in the history of Pierce County with the opening of the tobacco market. The farmers from all sections of the county begin arriving in town at an early hour, but no earlier than the buyers. Buyers represented all of the principal markets of the country and the market open very active with prices ranging all the way from one cent to 55 cents.”

Before the selling season was over in 1919 some 600,000 pounds of tobacco had been sold at the Blackshear Market & over 1.25 million pounds in 1920.

Once again...Bigger, Better, Bolder Blackshear. ... See more
