'When a fellow says, 'lt ain't the money, but the principle of the thing,' it's the money.” Kin Hubbard Cleaning Is Profitable RALEIGH - North Carolina tobacco farmers could gain as much as forty cents per pound by cleaning tobacco prior to marketing it according to a recent study conducted by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Office of Tobacco Affairs. Results of the study, conducted during the 1978 and 1979 marketing seasons, revealed that tobacco farmers can get more money for much of their tabacco if they will pick out off colored leaves, suckers, dead tobacco, dirt, trash and other foreign material from cured tobacco before marketing.” “We are very enthused with this study and want to encourage tobacco farmers throughout North Carolina to pay closer attention to cleaning their tobacco before marketing it,” said NCDA Tobbacco Marketing Specialist Bobby Gentry, who conducted the study. “We feel that trash, dirt and other matter which contributes to poor auality tobacco might be one of the reasons tobacco prices have not been what many producers have expected,” Gentry said. “If farmers take the time to clean their leaf, they take much better quality leaf to market and what little is lost in pound age is easily made up in higher prices.” Gentry cited one in cidence in which two sheets of tobacco, straight from the curing barn were sold in a regular auction sale. One of the sheets weighed 145 pounds and the other weighed 99 pounds. At sale, each one brought $1.05 per pound. As part of the project, sales were rejected and then the individual sheets of tobacco were carried through a thorough cleaning and picking process. After the process, the sheets weighed 130 pounds and 89 pounds, respectively. When the tobacco was resold, one sheet sold for $1.45 per pound and the Other for $1.41 per pourf#*** I ** 1 The picking and cleaning process required three man hours - approximately $9 worth of labor. The net profit on the two sheets of clean tobacco amounted to $48.79. The profit margin may not be as great as this example in all cases but cleaner leaf presents an overall better image of a sheet of tobacco and for that reason graders are apt to give it a higher THE CHOWAN HERALD grade,” Gentry said. In test cases farmers gained from 10 to 40 cents per pound on the price just because of cleaning and picking the tobacco. North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham endorsed the results of the study and encouraged tobacco far mers to (dace a cleaner crop on the warehouse flow in ’BO than they did in ’79. “With the recent lifting of economic sanctions on Rhodesia, North Carolina flue-cured tobacco farmers will have to flow a higher quality crop than in the past in order to maintain our current share of the foreign market,” Graham said. When economic sanctions were imposed in 1965, Rhodesia was producing about seven per cent of the world flue-cured tobacco and was providing about 22 per cent of estimated world flue-cured exports. “The quality of flue cured loaf coming out of Rhodesia is as close to U. S. quality as any other foreign country and if the United States - specifically North Carolina - is to continue to sell tobacco overseas we' have to continue reaching higher standards of quality,” Graham said.
