RE: American Ginseng – Cash crop, medicine and more
I'd love to try growing it. Looks to be a challenge though. Lots involved with trying to produce large quantities I'm sure.

Once you got your stratification boxes built and have area set up for 3 to 5 plots (one for each year), I don't think it would be any worse that growing anything else. Growing large quantities of any food crop is a lot of work. The big difference is, Ginseng pays MUCH more than the average foods.
Just if anything happens to the crop you could be out for 3-5 years which would hurt business. I'd still love to grow a bit though, i used to take the supplement for a long time but I'm sure it has no comparison to freshly grown ginseng.
