Tobacco sheds

Taken while driving through southwestern Ontario, after meeting my parents for lunch on Thanksgiving weekend. This was around the town of Tillsonburg, and if you've ever had to listen to Stompin' Tom Connors, you will know that your back would just hurt when you hear that word (Tillsonburg), thanks to the heavy labour that was (is?) involved in tobacco agriculture around this part of Ontario.

While I think the sheds in this photo were at one time used for drying tobacco, I should note that the actual field surrounding them is soyabeans. :)
