Danville Tobacco Dealers Anticipate Record Leaf Prices
Danville Virginia tobacco leaf dealers and warehousemen expect the upcoming season to be the biggest since before the Civil War. Prices may rise above last year’s record primings of 40 dollars per hundred pounds, with auctions seen at about 50 cents a pound when the season starts mid August. A looming labor shortage worries the trade as not enough workers are available, prompting reliance on the U S employment service. Farmers in the Old Belt plan to begin cutting tobacco in about two weeks as warm moist weather accelerates growth.
