Tobacco

This valley is where 90% of the shake (outer leaves of a cigar) come from. The most flavour in a cigar is contained in these leaves which are wrapped around less flavorful, center leaves.
As tobacco is used less this way of life, farming tobacco, is slowly becoming extinct. Fields are now growing corn or other crops instead. The hallmark sign of a tobacco field is the special drying barns with long vertical planks on hinges to control the air flow in the curing process. It truly is a dying art, and the barns are the bearers of the history.
