County tobacco growers should be
paying attention to a couple of
things:
-First, there had better be
Hidomil in those seedbeds.
-Second, growing management
of this year’s crop is going to be
more important than eyer.

And why will management be all
the more important this year?
Well, it’s expected that tobacco
growing this year will be at least
split 50-50 between Pennsylvania
chewing tobacco and the smoking
leaf.
And, the auctions in Maryland
this spring have been reflecting
lower prices - about 25 cents or so
below last year. There’s a big crop,
too.
So, good growing management

the Light at Hinkletown
of this year’s smoking leaf in
Lancaster County will be vital,
according to Yocum.
Bayers are going to be looking
for good, quality leaf, he ex
plained. And that means growing it
the way smoking leaf should be, as
opposed to chewing leaf, and doing
things like grading it.
But those things are still a bit off
in the future, but not that far. And
growers better keep on top of them
this year, it was advised.
