In South Carolina, only 10 to 15 percent of the crop was still in the field when Dorian arrived on September 6, says William Hardee, S.C. area Extension agronomy agent for Horry, Marion and Dillon Counties. "There was not much blowing off of leaves, but there was a lot of overripening due to the plant's production of ethylene." Farmers tried to harvest and barn what they could, but Hardee predicts that three quarters of the tobacco that was in the field wil be abandoned.
In North Carolina, leaf is deteriorating quickly in areas struck by Dorian. Farmers are harvesting as fast as they can. One observer predicted that all harvestable to-bacco will be out of the field by October 1, several weeks earlier than it has in recent years. "We needed four or five weeks," said our source. The worst damage was east and south of Ral-eigh. There was some damage in the northeast but considerably less.
In the Piedmont, there was hardly any effect of Dorian, says Dennis White, owner of Old Belt Tobacco Sales, Rural Hall, N.C. "As a matter of fact, we still need water." He estimates that harvest is half complete in his area.
50 million pounds loss in N.C.? The Tobacco Growers Association of North Carolina estimated the crop loss caused by Dorian in N.C. at 50 million pounds. That is based on the estimate that 60 percent of the crop remained in the field when the storm arrived and that 25 to 30 percent was destroyed or rendered unmarketable.
The effect on the market? "The
demand is soft--there is too much production world wide, and our U.S. leaf is challenged by the strong dollar relative to global options," said the statement from TGANC. "We very likely had over produced our domestic acres already, so the 50 million destroyed in the storm brings us closer to actual demand. That isn't to say we would not have sold the entire larger crop, but at what prices?"
Auction report: Leaf grades have not begun arriving in any volume at the flue-cured auction warehouses, and there has been grower disappointment with prices bid for some lugs. Cutters have reportedly sold fairly well. There is optimism that any high-quality tobacco offered for sale from here on may command good prices as a result of the Dorian damage.
September Crop Report--Production estimates continue downward: In a survey completed before Dorian arrived, USDA predicted in its September Crop Report that flue-cured production would total 304 million pounds, down three percent from last month and 10 percent from 2018. Burley production was expected to total 96.0 million pounds, down nine percent from the last month and four percent from last year. Among the individual states, with percentage change from 2018:

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
