Cabbage Seeds Spark Greenbrier Valley Market Venture
Lacy Heavener convinced J E Bass to try cabbage seeds and now Bass sells 100 dollars worth of plants from two pounds of seed. Eighty acres in Monroe produce cabbages worth about 200 dollars an acre at market. The state agriculture department backs the Greenbrier Valley Farm Products Marketing Association as its market aims grow. Heavener now runs the department’s market year round, planning a large new building near Lewisburg as a future receiving center.
