Tobacco Weigh-ln
Regulations Off
Regulations requiring tobacco
to be weighed in at the
warehouse within 48 hours
of sale have been repealed
in emergency action by the
North Carolina Board of
Agriculture. It came as a
result of hardships caused to
all segments of the tobacco
industry.
In announcing the change,
Commissioner of Agriculture
Jim Graham noted that
the present marketing system
for tobacco is not
conducive to this requirement.
"The various and
sundry markets, some with
sales every day and others
less frequently, cause many
problems when the tobacco
cannot *be put on the floor
until 48 hours before the
sale," Graham said. "The
tobacco farmer is pushed to
the limit in getting everything
done during the
tobacco harvest and sales
season. It is essential that he
move his crop to the sales
warehouse in between priming,
and the multitude of
other jobs that must be done
this time of year," Graham
continued. "This often
means hauling the tobacco
to the warehouse at night
and on weekends.
"The problem is compounded
by the dry weather
we are now experiencing
when additional labor is
required for moving irrigation
pipe and other things.
"The concept of weighing
tobacco as close to the time
of sale as possible is a good
one but the regulation as
written caused undue hardships,"
Graham concluded.
The emergency repeal is
effective until September 1,
at which time the Board of
Agriculture will give the
matter further consideration.
