Change In Market Dates Consider Change In Market Dates
The Tobacco Association sales committee will meet in Richmond on Monday to consider changing the Old Belt tobacco markets opening schedule. E D Matthews says the Virginia-Carolina Old Belt Warehousemen's Association appealed to the national group to set September 22 as the opening date if possible. The current plan sets October 1 as the opening, which would cost the Old Belt two weeks and two selling days versus last year. Farmers in the Old Belt haul many sales to other belts due to late openings.
