S.C. tobacco gc
By The Associated Press
South Carolina's estimated $180 million tobacco
crop went to market today, with the staccato
chant of auctioneers echoing in warehouses
across the Pee Dee.
About 150 people gathered at Gregory's
Warehouse on die west end of Timmonsville as
the auctions eot under wav about 8:30 a.m. In a
prayer before the sale began, they thanked God
"the joy of planting, the pleasure of the harvest
and now the joy of marketing."
"The tobacco looks a lot better on the floor
than a lot of us expected," state Commissioner
of Agriculture Les Tindal said. Tindal predicted
this year's crop would probably earn about the
same as the 1989 crop, $1.66 per pound on the
average.
Early in the sale at Gregory's, tobacco was a

Tindal said the markets were open two weeks
earlier than usual because of the crop matured
early in the field, a fact that some farmers have
attributed to a lack of rain.
But Tindal also said some farmers needed to
get tobacco to market because Hurricane Hugo

"It will help if we can get farmers to be patient
and go fishing for a while. What they need
to do is leave it on the stalk until it's ripe," he
said. "If farmers bring quality to the warehouse,
the buyers will-respond."

slightly.
Tindal attributed the increase in acreage to a
rise in tobacco exports.
Early in the growing season, agricultural officials
estimated this year's leaf crop in South
Carolina could be about $180 million.
Tobacco and its related products generate
more than 30,000 jobs and pump more than
$300 million into the state's economy, according
