The Money Crop
Calvert County After the Tobacco Buyout
By Anne Sundermann,
based on oral histories collected by Michael Kline and Carrie Nobel Kline
“This exceptional and eloquent book evokes the past, present, and future of Calvert County’s rural life and land. It offers a rich description of tobacco farming equally devoted to agriculture, to human culture in the broadest sense, and to the landscape... The book explains what has happened in recent times: the effects of a diminished labor supply, disappointing prices at market, skyrocketing land prices as subdivisions sweep the county, and the buyout by the state of Maryland, which has been followed by an intensified quest for replacement crops or expanded livestock farming.” From jacket notes by Carl Fleischhauer
 This volume builds on the 1992 book, The Money Crop: Tobacco Culture in Calvert County, Maryland, and, through new oral histories and photography, captures a turning-point in the history of farming in Southern Maryland as tobacco culture is vanishing.
The book features remarkable photographs that illustrate the past and present of agriculture in Calvert County and provide faces to go with the many stories presented in The Money Crop. Order your copy today!
