The U.S. Department ot Agri
culture today issued a schedule ot
loan rates -- which range from
$1.17 to $2.27 cents per pound -
for v arious grades of eligible 1982
crop flue-cured tobacco.
The rates, which reflect an
average support of $1 .759 a pound,
about 10.8 percent above 1981. are
the same for tied and untied
tobacco, according to Everett
Rank, executive vice president of
the U.S. Department of Agricul
ture's Commodity Credit Corpora
tion.
He said changes in 1982 grade
rates range from 1 2 cents to 25
cents above 1981 rates. From these
rates an amount of one cent per
pound may be deducted from
advances paid to producers to help
defray the association's overhead
costs.
Rank said the eight grades of
flue-cured which were ineligible in
1981 for price support will not be
supported in 1982 because those
grades are in excessive supply and
have limited demand. The eight
grades are P5L. P5F. P5G, NIL.
N1XL. N1GL, N1XO and N1PO.
Loan rates will be discounted 10
percent for any grade of the
supported primings which contain
moderately more dirt or sand than
normal, he said. Tobacco contain
ing excessive sand or dirt will be
graded No-G (no grade).
As in the past, no loans will be
available on any tobacco grades
No-G. No-GP. 42 (second quality
nondescript). W (doubtful keeping
order). U (unsound), or scrap.
Rank said. Marketings of these
grades, however, will be charged
against the quotas for the farms on
which they were produced, he said.
