Abstract
Recent research has focused on the effects of macro‐level structural forces on local cultures and agricultural systems of production. While indigenous systems can be dramatically altered by these forces, local institutions can also try to adopt strategies for survival. In this article I focus on how the shade tobacco farmers of North Florida adapted to the market collapse of their major money crop. In order to remain in agriculture, farmers who were established in a full‐time farming tradition had to consider strategies that included part‐time farming and off‐farm work. The part‐time farmers are compared to those who have tried to remain full time to find how successful the adjustment process has been.
