D24-Lancaster Farming, Saturday November 24,1984
Tobacco auction
dates set in Md.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Maryland
Secretary of Agriculture, Wayne
A. Cawley, Jr., announces that the
1985 Maryland tobacco auction
season will open March 19 at the
eight Southern Maryland tobacco
warehouses and continue for eight
weeks, closing on May 9.
His announcement follows a
recommendation from the
Maryland State Tobacco Authority
which met earlier this month.
Normal sale weeks will have
four sales days-Monday through
Thursday. However, there are two
exceptions to this schedule:
opening week will have sales
beginning on Tuesday, March 19th
and running on Wednesday and
Thursday. Easter Week will have
no sale on Monday and will be a
three-day, Tuesday through
Thursday week.
Cawley also says the Maryland
Department of Agriculture will
make no request to USDA for
reinstatement of “designated
market status” for the Maryland
tobacco markets in 1985.

At the request of the Southern
Maryland Agricultural Com
mission, discussion was held at the
most recent Authority meeting as
to interest in designated market
status which would mean that all
tabacco sold on the Maryland
market would have been officially
graded with sellers paying for the
USDA grading service.
The overwhelming number of
farmers who spoke on the issue of
grading were opposed to it.
According to the Maryland-
Delaware Crop Reporting Ser
vice’s latest estimate, the 1984
Maryland tobacco crop (which is
what will be sold on the 1985
auction market) will come in at
about 31.2 million pounds. This
would be up about five percent
from the 1983 crop of 29.7 million
pounds.
However, the good news from
tobacco growers is that the 1984
Maryland Crop of Type 32 tobacco
is of fine quality, thin, light leaf, as
opposed to the off-quality, heavy
leaf of the drought-plagued, 1983
crop.
