Don do you think prices may go up some this season or is that as good as it gets?

That is a hard call this year. So much bad news from China tells me anything good will be slow in coming.Probably be around early December before things change much. but that is only a guess.

How's the market looking Don? Local buyers here are saying 350 for really good ginseng, guys on wildgrown.com are saying 400-450 in Grayson, Ky. Local buyer is giving 8-9 dollars for green seng.

ThanksFoxkidd44.

Anyone hearing anything about the market rising anytime soon? I know it usually will go up around by mid November-December.

One of my KY. Dealers called Larry Faith and he offered 500 a lb. but told my dealer he could not buy from a dealer until november at best. My Dealer then asked him if he goes throught the seng and grades it. He said he picks out lesser quality root and smaller seng that has a lot of years on it.
Those kind of buyers worry me. I don't pick out root unless it is woodsgrown or something terribly wrong with the root. Terribly wrong would be illegal Seng that is not 5 years old or to much real small root without a decent mix of all sizes Seng. I do not grade Seng for the most part, unless it looks like you topped your seng. That would be selling all your 20 to 30 year old root and having loads of Seng that is 5 to 10 years old. Or similar to what I have typed. I hate dealers that top diggers roots. I have bought loads of seng this season and have only picked out two roots from all the pounds I have bought. Be careful about prices that are way higher than dealers buying root that is pretty common to your area.
Ginseng Like Foxkid 44 has is worth 50 dollars a pound more than I am paying. At this time I am paying 410 a pound.
Good Minnesota Seng should be worth 500 to 550 a dry pound and so is N. Carolina seng. North Carolina has some of the best Ginseng in the States. A friend of mine buys a lot of Carolina Seng wet or what I call green seng. It usually brings as good as or as much or close to Minnesota Seng.

Oh, ok I see. Thank you Don for taking the time to write that response. It is good to have knowledegable guys such as yourself right here on Trapperman. I do not spilt my seng up either. I figure the bigger older stuff helps make the other stuff look better, lol.

Thanks Don

My price in Indiana is 550 to 600 or a little better if you have over 15 pounds of seng. The price difference is for poor handled on the lower end to well handled on the upper end.
