Ginseng F arming-Making Money Out Os Idle Land f If you have an idle acre or so and the inclination to make money on a specialty crop, consider ginseng. According to “Fanning With Amoco,” an agricultural publication of Amoco Oil Company, com mercially cultivated ginseng roots can bring upwards of $45 per pound. It’s away to use human to make agricultural dollars^ Marketed as a ’<xure-all” in natural food stores and health food stores all over the country, the plant was origin ally held in esteem in the Far East. Even today, wild gin seng which is held in higher regard than the cultivated variety brings in more than $5 million annually at markets in Hong Kong. Why is ginseng valued so highly? Part of understanding the answer lies in the Chinese name for the root-Jin Chen. It means “man-like.” A well-formed root actually bears a faint resemblance to a human body, and that is important in Far Eastern countries where the root is considered a mainstay to health, virility, and longevity. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not re- Mount Mitchell Golf \*J I ✓ • I & ■ The Western North Caro lina Amateur has been re scheduled at the Mt.

However, for someone with some land, a little capital, and a lot of ginseng could be a verjf profitable specialty crop. But beware. Don’t rush into the ginseng business unless - are ready to roll up youy sleeves. “Ginseng production isa lot of hard work,” Jenkinjf noted. More information about ginseng growing is contained in the article, “Ginseng: 4 Crop That’s Really Special,’f in a recent issue of “Farming With Amoco” (which is distributed free by Amoco to customers of its jobbers).
