Low tobacco prices feared as Montgomery growers plan crop
Tobacco growers in Montgomery county Kentucky anticipate heavy plantings this year with 40 acres in corporate limits and widespread sowing. Prices fluctuate with 10 to 12% cents offered for some crops, while buyers predict 10 to 11% cents and even 12% to 15 cents for fancy loads. Owing to the weed surge corn and hemp production may fall, but other crops like fruit, wheat, rye and grazing cattle look sound and prices rise. About 2,000 pounds of tobacco have already sold in the county at 4 to 6 cents.
