Tobacco Auction Plans Progress
Officials of the Pennsylvania Tobacco Marketing Cooperative that
recently organized to hold auctions of both the 1997 and 1998 tobacco
crop announced this week that they will be receiving tobacco in Lancas
ter County the week of Januaty 11. But the time and place had not been
finalized at Lancaster Farming’s early New Years Day early press
time.
President Jane Balmer said good word has been received from several
southern tobacco companies who say they will come to the local auction
to buy when it is held. It can also be reported that the organizers of the
cooperative have everything just about in place but ask that their plans
not be repotted this week in case a last minute change needed to be
made. A report in next week’s issue of Lancaster Farming is scheduled
to give full details of the auction plans.
