Auction Warehouses will continue to hold sales up to and
including the week of March 23.
If you still wish to sell your crop at auction, phone warehouses
to schedule your delivery. Warehouses are prepared to move
your tobacco through the auction system - to turn crop into
cash. As warmer weather approaches, growers should be
concerned about bales heating.
The auction system has proved to be a vital part of the
tobacco marketing system in this depressed season. The
Keystone Tobacco Marketing Group will continue to strive
towards providing you the best market available for your
crop.
For information regarding The Keystone Tobacco Marketing
Group, contact Ken Brubaker at PO Box 267, Bird-In-Hand,
