BURLEY MARKET STILL
STRONG AT $1.67 FOR EVERY
POUND! NO BURLEY TOBACCO
GONE TO POOL!
You MUST grade 609 tobacco in 3 grades no
matter what buyer tells you. Do not straight
strip type 609 tobacco you will hurt your tobac- (
co market now and for future!
With variable prices currently offered on farm
it is no telling where prices will end UP! We have
a good market for both type 609 and type 41. Do
not make marketing decision based on what
happens on first sale. Best average returns
come when selling tobacco on different sale
dates. Come to your tobacco market, you must
stay informed. You have too much time and
work in already to make a quick sell decision!
Remember, we are here to stand behind you! We
care about you, the farmer! It is up to farmer to
decide auction future!
Auction is no better than farmers that stand
behind it.
