Union Springs Herald, Wednesday, May 9, 2001 An auction company from Gadsden, Alabama says that a date for auctioning off the Sedgefields property has not been set but likely will be within the next 90 days. Mike Fischer of National auction Group made that comment recently. It has been reported that $2 million was spent last year on the management and upkeep of Sedgefields Plantation. Some of these costs entailed mowing, feed and birds, maintaining the facilities and other expenditures-all directly benefitting the field trials held on the property. Rumors continue that the property will be divided into 17 parcels and sold but that has not been confirmed.
