Tobacco profits and aging growers in Jackson County
The Osseo area farm of Eddie and Florence Sylla leads Jackson County with a five acre tobacco allotment. In 1976 their crop yielded about $7,500 on four acres with seed costs under $2 per acre. They also grow plants for other producers in Jackson and Trempealeau County and foresee larger output amid high prices while noting labor and hail risks.
