<br><font size=3>Hi Patricia,</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=3>I believe that we are finding out that there is a limit
to the demand for North American Ginseng after all. </font>
<br><font size=3>With an over production of commercially cultivated material
and over pricing of the wild roots last season raw material is stock piling.
<br>
Meanwhile the cultivated roots are barely marketing at production cost
and the Wild Ginseng Market is opening down 65% from last seasons peak
levels. </font>
<br><font size=3>We must remember that last season's record prices for
wild roots were just a blip on the radar screen due to rumors and speculation
of both droughts and elimination of Kentucky harvest exports from the international
marketplace.</font>
<br><font size=3>With the various States harvest data reports coming in
we can begin to see the amount of "wild simulated root being propagated
and the impact it can have in the marketplace.</font>
<br><font size=3>Hopefully we can continue implementing regulations that
support "wild simulated propagation methods conserving Ginseng habitat
and native populations in the process.</font>
<br><font size=3>This will be good for our air, soil, water and business
enviroments.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=3>Best regards,</font>
