Sold some.dried ginseng today for...

$875.00 a pound.

We are happy

must of been nice roots.

Yea quite a good year for ginseng! I had a pound one ounce, but had to sell for 750 a pound because I had some of my big homegrown roots mixed in . Came home with $818.00 a lot better than the $4 mink prices and $10 red fox prices! But I still enjoy trapping and picking roots all the same!

I miss doing that from my days living in Virginia.Very nice prices.

It's great that you can make a decent amount of income on ramps and ginseng.

Keith

I was surprised. Last year we got 625.00

Did you smoke any????????

Are people really as crazy about that stuff as they portray in that reallity show?

Very nice,,,good for you.

Any ginseng?

I didnt and wouldnt..geez...itd be like burning up a 50 dollar bills in 3 seconds flat.

I only know of one situation where that happens. And ain't no pole here I guarantee it.

I dont care for splinters.

Most states they don't use saplings for the pole.

Very nice!! But then again,,, Virginia seng is usually some very nice stuff compared to our Illinois seng. I have to admit,,, I do get a lil envious,,, lol

I was quoted 825 back in november for Iowa sang. Dont know if It went up or down since. Foxkidd44 I saw some sang down your way this summer. I was on a job sight down by Gallagers Corner that didnt have a porta potty so I stepped in edge of timber an spotted a couple while doing my thing LOL

Great work, Cathryn.

That’s funny. A couple years back I was digging ginseng out by a stone quarry. I looked on the ground and saw where a quarry worker used the potty. Not 2’ away was three massive 4-prongs.

How do you make anything off of ramps? I know a place where you could take 100 pounds or more in a day without working very hard.

Se sold 8000 dollars worth of ramps in 18 days last spring. We are hoping to do 15 in 30 days. The market is there.

Mark . pm me if you wanna make some money

Some very nice seng along Richland creek…. Extremely hard to get permission unfortunately
