Price Support On Untied
Tobacco
USD A has announced price
support will be made avail
able on untied flue-cured to
bacco of all grades during
first 12 sales days this year
on all markets in South Ca
rolina, North Carolina and
Virginia.
Price supports on 1966
crop tied tobacco will con
tinue at 3 cents per pound
higher than for untied to
bacco for each grade. The
differential was reduced from
6 cents per pound to 3 cents
per pound last year to re
flect narrowing market price
differential between tied and
untied tobacco in recent
years. The difference be
’ tween market prices of tied
and untied tobacco averaged
from 2 to 4 cents per pound
for most grades in 1965.
Crotalaria—Friend Turned
Foe
Several gram marketing
firms have reported an in
crease in crotalaria contam
inated grain showing up at
their elevators this year
compared to the last few
years. As you know, cro
talaria seed have been found
to be poisonous to livestock
and poultry even when con
sumed in small quantities.
Wh e n ingested in large
amounts, death to the animal
usually results.
A few farmers are still
using crotalaria as a cover
crop in some areas. How
ever, this it not a desirable
practice since the seeds may
remain in the soil for many
years after the mature plant
is destroyed. The land may
eventually l be planted to a
crop such as corn or soy
beans and the volunteer cro
talaria plants have to be re
moved to avoid contamina
tion of the harvested grain.
Growers should use another
crop such as soybeans, cow
peas, vetch, lupine velvet
beans or rye as their cover
crop.
Wool
Producers selling shorn
wool or unshorn lambs
should apply for the incen
tive payment under the wool
program at the ASCS office.
Applications should be filed
after all the sales for 196 f
on shorn wool or unshorn
lambs are made. Please
bring bills of sale with you
The wool price support rate
for 1966 has been set at 65
cents per pound.
