Receiving Tobacco Monday thru Fridays
We are expecting more buyers for our Tuesday &
Thursday sales and we feel it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you visit our sales or call after the sales for sale
results. Last weeks top price was 60*. Average price was
also up from last week's sale.
If you want to process your tobacco, make sure how and
why you select the right company to process. Alex Parker
Tobacco Co. is a future buyer and will help to improve our
market. They are quite capable of selling this tobacco. They
are a very credit-worthy tobacco company.
We need new tobacco companies in our market. We at
Paradise are doing the best we can to get this job DONE!
Call us to find out what style of tobacco
we expect to be in demand this week.
When sowing your new tobacco beds, it is important to
apply Ridomil according to the LABEL. Too much can stunt
plant growth. Two layers of muzzling will also produce
earlier plants. Be sure that you inspect your tobacco that’s
still in the barn, to make sure it is not heating and spoiling.
