How the Plant Was Discovered in Brown County Ohio 1862
The Cincinnati Enquirer recounts how in spring 1862 Joseph Foot and Shafus Boles on Captain F. R. Kautz’s Higginsport farm sowed red Burley seed from Kentucky. Four pale, fine-leaf stalks appeared, later saved seed yielded one spoonful. By 1868 buyers in Higginsport began handling the new white Burley, yielding higher prices and faster sales as manufacturers learned it cut finer and retained moisture.
