THANK YOU FARMERS FOR TELLING THE BUYERS
YOU WILL SEE THEM AT THE AUCTION!!
Not much 609 tobacco was sold last week, although there
are currently offers of $1.25/lb. for tips & middles, ?? for
bottoms and ??? for outgrade tobacco. Type 41 tobacco was
being sold for $1.02/lb.
By now, you should have a good feeling that there is much
excitement about our high quality 1988 tobacco crop. A lot of
buyers are stopping at Paradise to find out when sales are and
making sure that we will have lots of good tobacco for our first
sale on Monday, December 5 at 9:30 a.m. THEY CAN HARDLY
WAIT!!
The more farmers that don’t sign contracts, the better
chance we have for a price increase. With Type 41 tobacco
bringing $1.02/lb., we should have an even greater price
difference to keep tobacco farmers interested in farming Type
609. Talk to your neighbors and... LETS STICK TOGETHER!!!
Even though we have strong demand, you must continue to
prepare your tobacco for market as we have explained in our
newsletter. If you are not currently on the mailing list, give us
a call.
We Will Begin Receiving Tobacco
Starting On November 28 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
First Sale is Monday. December 5 - 9:30 A.M.
Once Again - Your NICEST Tobacco For The First Sale

We think we have something valuable AUCTION which

we can.
