Peculiar Ginseng Farm In Arrowsmith Illinois
Arrowsmith’s southeast district hosts a ginseng farm run by Mr. Kirkpatrick in a 66 by 120 foot yard. About half of this space yielded $525 in dried roots, with roots at 7 to 8 dollars per pound, seed at 2 per 1000, and two year old plants at 20 per 1000. Kirkpatrick plans to double space, building 8 by 10 beds with concrete borders under lattice shade. He also grows golden seal valued for apothecary use, and has operated the ginseng venture for about ten years, after moving from Virginia.
