Fellas I hope the market holds for your buyers to make money. I sell to a Chinese buyer and he is not very optimistic about this market. He told me to be very careful and not get into heavy high priced buying until he tells me the markets he has, needs Ginseng. There was a very large amt. of Ginseng bought at very high prices last year and the Chinese have not been able to move all the root they bought last year at high prices. The U.S dollar has also strengthened since last season and this will also have a down ward effect on the market. Good luck fellas and I hope you can keep getting high prices. 160 on average green root sounds about right. That would probably come out to around 550 or 560 dry. Then if you had a few 1 ounce roots it may raise your average another 15 to 20 dollars.

Any info on prices? Not a big digger any more but I got some drying in the house right now. Selling green might make a few guys a little more money at times. But boy I love the smell of drying ginseng and just stopping and looking at it. Every root I dug was earned the hard way on steep rocky bluffs. Seems I mostly hunt south slopes these days.

The buyers here in northwest Arkansas have stopped buying altogether. I have a page where I'm posting news on prices and the market for this year and if any of you with information would post there, I'd appreciate it. Don, would you post what you said your people told you? I have a buyer in PA who stated he is still buying and paying top dollar, but our locals aren't planning to pick up again this year at all. Here's the page: 2014 Ginseng Root Prices
