that bloodroot dries very very light, like 6-7 lb to one dry. no way to make minimum wage on it even that I coulf ever figure. and may apple, holy macheral. right up there with blackberry root bark at 15 cents a lb.! in this day and age ewverything but `seng and `seal is just reminiscing by gone days I`m afraid.

The best price I see is 5 bucks on bloodroot and nothing on mayapple. Maybe there is some contracts I don't see.

Bloodroot was up to 10 a few yrs. back. But I can't find anybody even offering me 8 bucks a lb. Even if I could get 5 bucks a lb. on mayapple, I would not waste my time on it, unless I was pretty needy.

My brother and I dug 36lbs of dried Mayapple roots back in the 1970's we sold it to Magee Fur & Root Company in Eolia Mo.
