You have had few choices to sell your crop this year. However, one choice has stood above the rest. The auction warehouses have supported you - now it is your turn to support them. Auction warehouses have worked hard to push price & create demand for your crop. Through phone calls, samples, and even purchasing tobacco - the auction warehouses have stood beside you to provide the best market available. The auction system proved to be the only market for you in December & January and will continue to be the strength of the marketing season. If you want a competitive market that will work for you today, as well as, in the future - you must support the auction system now. If you contract your tobacco on the farm, you are eliminating your chances of a higher priced market. If you are promised to be "caught up” to the auction market - you know there is more money available for your crop. Your decision in the coming weeks will determine what kind of tobacco marketing system you wish to have in the future. Are you willing to sell your entire crop on one man’s opinion or do you want a competitive auction to maximize your receipts. Due To An Apparant Increase In Demand The Following Sales Schedule Will Be Used For The Week Of February 16.
