Janice: I am aware of that, but the idea is that if the demand was there acreage would be devoted to the growing. That has been proven to be the case with every other crop in the world. The market (i.e. the big bucks) is not for dietary suplements, it is for a sugar substitute. Cut it out, You know that.

Actually, I thought al-len had a good point there - new agricultural products that catch on in the market do tend to enjoy a period of prices attractive to the producers and distributors. Some friends of mine here with small land holdings are always keeping an eye out for what's hot - Gala apples were a great price for a few years, but they've now become a standard commodity almost, only a nickel a pound difference at the retail level. Vinyards are slowly getting established - if you ever come across a BC pinot noir or chardonnay from Chateau Wolff, try it, it's great - I logged and shaped the hillside it was grown on, and continue to provide free wine-tasting services -g- It's high quality - look out Napa Valley. Sounds like stevia could expand its market, from everything I read on it so far, IF the price came down to within reason and IF its distributors can get FDA approval. The latter will bring the former - when and if the FDA approval comes, serious money will go into advertising and production of stevia, bringing economies of scale and assuring that the major dollar is made by the big outfits who can efficiently put it on the grocery store shelf - NOT by some pissant bulletin board outfit which neglects its lemonade stand to spend its time and effort playing games with its paper, and which doesn't seem willing to file audited financials with SEC in a timely fashion.
