FARMERS
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
We asked you for your support and you came through! Last
Tuesday’s Sale was the best of the year with the majority of
the tobacco on the floor sold and many piles having offers
near the high for the day. We will continue to offer auctions
for those farmers who want to sell their tobacco now. Last
week was the type of sale which satisfied many farmers since
the bidding was strong among all the buyers. It is important
to attend the sale if you have tobacco here so you can com
pare your price with the market price for similar tobacco.
Remember: Auction makes the difference in marketing your
tobacco and Garden Spot makes the difference in auctions!
Receiving Tobacco Six Days A Week:
Sales Every Tuesday - 9 A.M.
Prompt payment for your crop - Checks available day of sale
