Wayne County farmer Shelton Lewis, left, walks behind his eight-row tobacco planter Saturday morning in a field off Emmaus Church Road. Shelton and his father, Butch Lewis, tend the farm together. Tobacco remains one of Wayne County's chief crops, with about 9,000 acres expected to be planted this year in the county.
