Tobacco barns, near Delhi, Ontario
Tobacco is still a widely grown crop in the warmer climate of the very southern part of Ontario around Delhi. It is often picked by Mexican workers. The Canadian tobacco growing industry is in sharp decline, largely due to social changes brought on by health concerns, but also due to rampant tobacco smuggling and legal imports from the U.S.
Thanks Trevor. Most of my photos are geotagged with the exact location. If you view the same photo on my Flickr page, you can see the exact location by zooming in on the map in the top right corner:

There are many such tobacco barns in the entire area though.
Hi Richard:
Great photo – thanks for sharing. I’d like to find some of these myself to take pictures and measurements. Do you remember where in the Delhi area you found these? Or did you just come across them by chance?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
