Forrest McGinnis, 72, took advantage of warmer weather on March 4, 1987, to start plowing for his tobacco crop on his 70-acre farm in Mercer County. He said he planned to grow approximately 2,000 pounds of tobacco that year on his farm, which was on U.S. 68 between Harrodsburg and Perryville. Photo by Charles Bertram | Staff
