Ginseng Market Report For the Season of '99!!
www.ginseng-seed.com

Seven Year old Woodsgrown Ginseng roots went for $90.00 to$130.00 per pound. Five Year Old was bringing $40.00 per Pound.
Eight to Ten Year Old Top Quality Woods Grown Ginseng Roots were Bringing Up To $280 Per Pound. Wild Ginseng Roots were at $475.00 per pound. It takes 70 to 75 dry roots to make a pound.

Glacial Ginseng Co. Does Not Buy Wild Ginseng Roots, However We Will Buy Woods Grown Ginseng Roots. We Buy Woods Grown and Wild Ginseng Seeds (Where Legal) To Blend In With Our "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds, As Usual.
We are always in the Market For Good Ginseng Seed and Will Pay a Premium on Second Generation and Older "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds.
There are Appo. 35,000 Ginseng seeds in our 5 pound "Glacial Gold" ginseng seed kit, now the market figures to Appo. $4.00 per plant; Plus The Sale of "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds while they are Maturing.
Ginseng Plants Start to Produce seeds in the Second Year. If You Replant your Seeds the second, third and fourth year, you should realize 100 Percent Plus Germination Rate. The Seed pods reach maturity in the Fourth Year and Bear 30 to 40 seeds per pod. Think about it, use a paper and pencil so you get the decimal point in the right place.

You should be realizing about 15 pounds of ginseng seed back for each pound planted in 4 years, and about 10 pounds of ginseng roots for each pound of seed planted in 7 years. If you take care of your plants you might do twice that.

What we are starting to see here is a Strong Acceptance of the woodsgrown ginseng roots by the export market. The export market looks at the appearance of the Ginseng root first. Small roots are much more desired, plant your ginseng seeds close, this will encourage small roots and intertwined roots.

Suggested Starting Planting Rate is One Pound of "Glacial Gold" Ginseng Seeds Per Acre of Woods.
Start Slow, Plant in Several Different Spots, Until You Get The Feel of Where The Light Is Right in The Woods For Growing Ginseng.
You can Plant as much as 100 pounds per Acre, However, I recommend About 40 Pounds of seed per Acre.
Further Instructions are in The "Ginseng Growers Guide" by Michael Hunter.
Also Available @ Amazon.com
We guarantee no dried out hulls. The hull is what the embryo feeds on as it develops.
The seeds that we have for this spring planting are just some of the most outstanding seeds that I’ve had the opportunity to handle. We’ve been working on a new stratification process over here, kind of a spin off on the work that we’ve been doing on growing ginseng south of the equator. We know that ginseng has an 18 month germination period, creating the necessity to stratify these seeds for one year prior to planting. The key to the germination is abrupt temperature changes such as you would find at the spring of the year under natural conditions. As the snow starts to melt in the spring, temperature changing radically triggers the germination of the seeds.
We do have a new process for handling ginseng seeds to increase not only the germination factor but to genetically crossbreed back to the original plant. We can get into the little sister’s effect. I’ve got some pictures showing where these little seedlings have come up under 3 year old plantings, and these were cross-bred seeds, so the genetic pattern in those young ones coming up is already there. Ginseng is a unisexual plant that can have 2 to 3 seeds in a single pod, all three can have different fathers and yet the genetic pattern of all the seeds are being taken up and become a part of the genetic pattern of the plant itself. The first generation seeds are really good, and by the time you’ve reached the fourth generation, your weaker seeds have died back, and your stronger strain seeds, the more natural type plants, have come forward. You should wind up in four years time with almost 100% yield and maybe plus.
Keep your seed beds close in. Don’t encourage large roots, the market doesn’t want that. There has to be a constant balance between the commercial aspects and the wild ginseng, so that we don’t harvest our wild totally out of existence. The whole purpose of publicizing the facts about the germination and stratification processes that we’re using here is to encourage it to be used through the industry, so that we can not only reestablish an endangered species into the natural habitat within my lifetime, we can go on to make it universally available for its medicinal purposes to the entire world.
We don’t know where all this plant will grow. We know it’s basically a colder weather, higher climate type plant, and it likes mineralized soils, such as we find on the ancient glacial deposits here in southern Michigan, northern Wisconsin, on into Minnesota. Similar soils are into the Carolinas and mountainous regions of Kentucky and Tennessee. What the ginsenocide level of these plants will be we don’t yet know. We encourage feedback from all our growers. We need commercial growers out here that have the appropriate suitable sites. If you think your site is suitable, send us up a picture or two. We’ll e-mail you back an opinion.
