Why is tobacco culture relevant today if the buyout was 20 years ago? Following pressure from the anti-smoking movement, the Maryland state government encouraged tobacco farmers to find alternative crops. While you won’t see many broad green leaves in fields today, the legacy of the cash crop continues on. Find out who Queen Nicotina is and her role in tobacco farming.  Join us virtually as we explore the buyout’s effect on agriculture in Maryland, past Queen Nicotinas, and the history of this scholarship contest.
