—ATTENTION TOBACCO FARMERS!!!
Due to current dry conditions, more frequent spraying will be
required for good control of aphids & hornworm. Applications of
pesticides are also more effective when applied in the morning
hours.
I have just returned from a trip into South VA and N. Carolina to
meet with several buyers. Farmers in this flue-curpd area are
experiencing a severe drought.
Burley tobacco farmers had 50% less plants than normal in their
seedbeds. Burley quotas were also cut by 6%.
These factors will certainly create an interesting supply/demand
situation for our tobacco leaf; however, I will stress that quality
will become very important in marketing out tobacco for years to
come.
