TOPIC: MN prices

called around to 3 dealers $145-160 per lb for fresh roots and %450-500 per lb for dry.
One dealer says he paid 230 a lb for some really old(30 yrs +) fresh roots.

I sold $1000 worth of fresh roots at $160 per lb to fund the purchase of 2 new firearms, the wife wouldn't \"let me buy\" the rest is drying. I always figure on a 3.25/3.5:1 fresh:dry ratio. if you're selling dry roots this time of year, you really need to watch that ratio to make sure you aren't losing money! Then we blame the buyer for making too much, when it's your fault for not being diligent, educated and organized!

congrats M-root...i would say you were treated fairly..

price is creeping up...a digger pal of mine got $175 per fresh pound yesterday for quality MN roots. Maybe we get premium dollar up here as MN's annual harvest is only between 2000 - 3000 lbs.

heard from a bigger buyer than me today that he dropped his dry price to 450.
