Green River Tobacco Marketing Association forms in Owensboro
In Owensboro on December 11 the Green River Tobacco Marketing Association was launched to raise prices for the 1921 tobacco crop. About 1,200 to 1,600 growers attended the meeting, with Daviess County locals predominant. The executive committee may conduct the sale and sign a contract authorizing agents to grade, handle, and market the 1920 crop, with loans, storage, and deductions from proceeds outlined. The plan includes leasing local factories and Owensboro warehouses to pool tobacco, backed by $600,000 from local interests and anticipated high grade sales averaging over $15 per hundred pounds.
