Poppies Grown for Opium in Lincolnshire Decline
Poppies are grown in Lincolnshire for distillation into opium but the industry is contracting due to high risks and low prices. This season not more than 20 acres are planted, weather risk can ruin crops, and the heads yield 30 000 to 40 000 per acre with former prices around three dollars per thousand heads. The crop also drains soil fertility, limiting cultivation to once every six years.
