TOPIC: Anyone know where the pricing is at so far this year in NC?

Carolina Bait $960LB Dry

Don & Pat Phillips in Mitchell County @ 960.00 on well handled root.

Carolina Bait and Metcalfs Ginseng $1000LB dry

Wow! Makes ya wish that you had more to sell, eh?

Don & Pat Phillips in Mitchell County are at 1,000 for well handled quality ginseng.

$1000 a lb. Whew! That's just unreal. There has been a lot of ginseng come in this year.
Wonder what that will do to the market next year?

Rootman,
I know those prices sound real high this year and the harvest has probably been one of the better years in Kentucky. I'm also sure that some of it is a reflection of a big loss from not being able to dig more than 25 roots per person from three large National Forest. There is probably more than a 75% loss in poundage from the Pisgah, the Nantahala, and the Cherokee National Forest that may never be allowed again. It will be interesting to see what the totals are for Tennessee and North Carolina as compared to previous years.

I was told $1100 per pound on Saturday for good quality seng

Which dealer?

$1040 LB Carolina Bait
