📰 News we're reading

• Thousands of Hoosier farmers once grew tobacco. Now, they've nearly disappeared. (wishtv.com) — Madison once celebrated tobacco auction day with crowds and a school band. Now its warehouses are gone or repurposed, and Jefferson County farmer Darrell Smith is among roughly 25 Indiana growers still raising the crop. Shrinking demand and scarce workers are squeezing his operation, which his children don't plan to continue.
