Md. tobacco
averages $1.50/lb.
ANNAPOLIS, Md - The 1983
Maryland tobacco auction season
ended May 12 with a total of
38,304,628 pounds of Type-32 leaf
being sold for a season average of
$1.50 per pound.
High volume brought cash
receipts to tobacco growers to a
total of $58,542,330.54 which
represents a new, all time, dollar
high for Maryland tobacco sales
season.
However, according to
preliminary figures, farmers had
to sell some 5,046,160 additional
pounds of tobacco in 1983 to push
total receipts a mere $508,331.89
over the 1982 pace.
Due to the larger amount of
tobacco to be sold this year the
Maryland State Tobacco Authority
extended the auction season by one
week.
Dramatic evidence of a market
burdened by a large supply of
tobacco is apparent in comparing
the season averages for the two
years. The 1983 average of $150.55 '
per hundred pounds is $23.91 off the
1982 season average of $174.46 per
hundred pounds.
Tobacco is Maryland’s most
traditional cash crop having been
produced in the state since colonial
times and much of it moves in the
export trade. Tobacco ranks third,
behind com and soybeans, in
terms of cash returns to farmers
for field crops.

Th« biggest problem with founts and other supple
mentary waterers fs manpower—the labor needed to
dean and hand-fill them. Also, birds don’t always get
clean, cool, fresh water which can cause health prob
lems and poor feed conversion.
But now there's the new Swish
SATELLITE system.
It attaches to any Swish floor
watering system (and most other
brands, too), to give you an auto
matic system that baby birds take
to immediately.
And your birds get fresher,
cleaner, cooler water that they
love to drink. Which means they'll
drink more of it And that means
healthier birds.
The Swish SATELLITE also cuts
water waste which means drier
litter, less disease.

on PRC prices for that year.
“Historically importers have
been detered from purchasing
products that are under a dumping
order, and these mushrooms from
PRC would fall within that
category,” added Kooker “ and
this ruling shows that despite an
industry that is comparatively
small, we can still have an effect
on trade policy.”
