Over 125 farmers attended the six meetings and many signed contracts and received seed to grow the tobacco this year.

Farm er will know what price they will receive for each grade of Aro matic tobacco before the seed are own. The crop requires more hand labor during harvest than most crops, but the cash outlay is small. The tobacco grows best on upland soils of moderate fer tility.
