ATTENTION
TOBACCO FARMERSII
Communication with the south indicates
that they are currently worried about
the dry weather. Their plant beds are
very late if not already dried up. We
expect this to better our market as
production has been already greatly
reduced.
They indicate they would like us to farm
a lot more pounds of 609 tobacco
and market more of those pounds
through auction. We agree and we are
currently working on expansion of
auction facilities. Watch this paper for
continuing market updates.
