Have you ever heard of a JBLIC AUCTION that has silent bids? There is nothing that can hurt your tobacco prices more than an auction allowing a tobacco company to buy at an “under the table” price. If a tobacco buyer has a higher price, why don’t they show it up front on sale? Why is it done at night or on the “off day”? Could it be that they are afraid that another company may push the prices higher if their bid was known? I believe so. If farmers want a true auction, it is here! No private deals will be done. It has to be done up front so that all buyers will know the bids and can possibly push the market higher if they want tobacco. How could you buy a load of hay if you don’t know the other farmer is bidding at the hay auction? 1 have worked hard to get the price where it should be for my farmers. I need your support & a full house to get the job done, please fill Farmers Tobacco Warehouse full next week and give me an opportunity to work for you.
