Virginia Tomatoes Rally Amid Salmonella Scare

Dodd couple Jane and Robert Dodd cultivate 300 acres north of Richmond, asserting Virginia’s soil and TLC produce top flavors. State officials stress Virginia tomatoes have no link to the outbreak, as the crop dominates the state’s farming mix with 5,000–6,000 acres on the Eastern Shore.
