ATTENTION TOBACCO FARMERS!!
The Farmer's
Friend!
THANK YOU FARMERS!
It was your support this year that has strengthened the
auction system of marketing tobacco for the future.
Several goals, which we auction organizers set out to
accomplish, were met this year. We have attracted a
sizeable, reputable company to our market. We maintain
ed a market for all grades of your tobacco, not just your
good tobacco.
Our last sale was one of our best. Top market price was 70*.
Large volume of tobacco sold for 65 to 67*. If more
farmers would have resisted selling tobacco on the farm,
we feel that market prices may have increased to more
acceptable levels earlier in the season.
We will be receiving tobacco for one more week for
processing. - April 21, 22, 23, 24 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. - with Parker Tobacco Company. Please call for
appointment so we can have graders here when you
deliver your tobacco.
We Will Be In Touch Throughout The Grow
ing Season And Hope To See You All During
Next Years Tobacco Marketing Season!
