Although tobacco no longer dominates the agricultural landscape in the South Carolina’s Pee Dee region, there are still a number of acres of the golden leaf planted, photographer Linda W. Brown of Kingstree writes.

This field, ready for harvest, is located in the Vox community of rural Florence County.

Florence Countyhad 137,948 people, according to a 2012 Census estimate.  Its poverty rate — higher in the rural areas than the county seat of Florence, averaged 19.4 percent in 2010.
