@DozzzzzEric This is the only picture I have of him and I. He was never one to want to be in front of the camera, but I sure wish I had more.

I'm posting a few more photos from @1_Immy Farms over the years that I took. Believe it or not, there are no filters or editing. This is the raw beauty that was produced in his practices. He sent one of these into our local news station, and it was featured by @NickHausenWx.

@Dusty42402999 @1_Immy I helped him combat *some* of the reasons to cuss. It helps to have a seed rep as a neighbor and friend 😉

I had the privilege of knowing @1_Immy for 15 years. The way he broke me in? Sending me on a chew run. I was 19, had never purchased a tobacco product in my life, and had NO idea what I was doing. Ultimately, I did it, did it right, and the rest was history. I was then named the

One of my favorite things about my job is that I get the privilege to meet people from everywhere. Over 300 farmers and their families are here and I’m so glad to talk to as many of them as I have, and help supply product through their chosen retailers.
