I Got A Bussiness Idea.

I was skimming the ol' AM dial on the way home yesterday, I catch this one dude talking about hops.

'Perntly there has been a decent shortage over the last couple of years, and that has driven the price way up.   Micro brewers are still going strong, and there are a lot of serious home brewers.

This *feces* going for upwards of 60 cents an ounce or 8 dollars and higher a pound.

I have no idea what geef is going for, but this seems pretty lucrative, and more legal.

I've been re-surfing all morning, and run across a lot of good info.   Sure as *feces*, on Ebay, some varieties are going for over 20 bones a pound. 

Minnesota is listed as a suitable climate for growing, and one of the local micro joints has purchased 2.5 acres, and are going to start growing next year.

This may just be the ticket. 

Not sure.  I will have to El Goog that as well.

Just eyeballing it, not much.  e.g.  The picture of a 1 pound bag of buds on Ebay, over a picture of 1 mature plant looks to be maybe 5 bags per plant.
Starter plants average about 5 bucks.

If the microbrewers don't want to buy your *feces*, can you at least smoke it?

I have 'sperience with triple beams and selling veggies if you need a west coast rep.

Hops are related to cannabis.

It would take a couple of years for the plants to mature enough to give you a crop.  Due the high prices, more acreage probably will be planted this year, so by the time you're ready to sell, the price will have dropped.
