which region of virginia does tabacco grow
Most Virginia farms do not grow tobacco, but it's a key crop for those who do. In the Piedmont District (Piedmont tobacco region as defined by the US Department of Agriculture-not the entire Piedmont physiographic province...), less that 10% of the farms had an allotment allowing them to grow tobacco.icotinia rustica migrated north from Mexico, presumably with the help of Native American farmers, and was being grown in Virginia when Jamestown was settled. John Rolfe is credited with importing Nicotiana tabacum seeds, so Virginians could grow a species of tobacco that was less harsh when smoked.
