Per Lb. Each bale was rated at about 200lb, so about $1600 - $2000 depending on variety.

I was having a beer in a bar in Yakima last year, and two of the guys were talking about hops. One of the guys owned a farm, and he was asking the other guy about working for him. I only caught part of the conversation, but it sounded like the guy was going to take a bale in payment instead of getting cash.

Can we just buy by the pound though?

Sounds like it's time for a group buy for the LBG.
