The toabcco auction system is working for you. For most
growers, the auction system has provided the best opportunity
to turn crop into cash. For some growers, the auction system
has been the only opportunity to receive an offer.
Due to the depressed price structure, it is important to you to
grade your crop consistently. Most buyers have small orders,
which are specific in grade. Buyers will base their price on the
poorest quality bale within the skid. For you to maximize the
only opportunity you have - grade consistently according to
color. Do not give the buyer a good reason to pay less for your
top quality tobacco.
