It is that time again - to strip & prepare
your tobacco for market!
Remember - quality is most important when
preparing & selling your tobacco. Grading is
necessary to command TOP PRICES! Do not
strip early tobacco too damp or with any green
fat ribs - especially if you have moldy tips!! Early
stripped tobacco needs to be stored in an area
with good air circulation due to fat ribs and
Incomplete curing. For best Type 41 prices, col
or grade your tobacco - make separate grades of
your bright and dark tobaccos. Separate green
outgrade tobacco out of both Types 41 and 609.
