Garden Spot Tobacco Auction extends their appreciation to all farmers and buyers who supported us during the past tob acco marketing season. We tried to do the best job possible to overcome the obstacles in marketing the 1986 tobacco crop. A major goal was accomplished at the end of the season when a new company was represented at the auction. This was a significant achievement and one which we hope can be built upon in future years. The more companies which are active in our market, the more stability and opportunities will be available to you the farmer. Again, we thank you for your support and we look forward to working with you in the future.
