Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: Tobacco is one of Ontario's most profitable agricultural products and the 1959 crop presently being marketed is expected to bring in an estimated $85 million. While last summer's production was slightly down from the 1958 all-lime high of 176 million pounds of flue-cured tobacco, higher prices for what is considered to be the "finest quality crop" ever harvested is expected to compensate for loss due to acreage reduction, hail and early frosts. Above, buyers at the Ontario Flue-Cured Growers Marketing Warehouse at Tillsonburg, Ontario.
