Question

Let's say you're an englishman of the planter class in 17th-century virginia. how would you grow tobacco if you were cultivating it as a cash crop?

Answer 1

I’d grow nothing but tobacco and prepare it for export

Answer 2

I would grow my tobacco in a way where tobacco was the only thing I grew so that I could sell it. A cash crop is a crop that is grown for the sole purpose of selling/exporting, so I would not use my tobacco plants myself.
