First priority is to grade your tobacco according to col or. However, a rule of thumb is; to take 3 or 4 leaves for bottoms; leave 4 or 5 leaves for tips; rest goes to your middle grade. Keep your bottom grade FREE OF OUTGRADE and then it will bring top market price. If you think all other farmers are the ones that are going to sup port the auction and it’s OK for you to sell private, IS THIS FAIR? Remember, auction is the one that has already moved market price up! We are still optimistic from what we hear. DONT SELL TOO QUICKLY!
