Buyers get a first look at the 1999 tobacco crop at the opening day sale at Fair Deal Warehouse in Kingstree, August 3. The local tobacco market opened August 3 to much confusion. The prices this year are higher than last year, lower than last year, or the same, depending on who you ask.
Farmers are satisfied and unhappy with the money their crop is fetching.
The crop looks better than last year, worse than last year, or the same. It was too wet early, too dry late, and for some, just right. The News, Internet Edition. Hosted by Charleston.
