Thank you Anya. This makes sense. Yes, Mint is an incredible

growing/spreading herb, which doesn't need much attention. I mostly

considered the EO yield, thinking that this would most strongly

influence pricing. You're right though, if something can be machine

harvested, it will most definitly drop the price considerably.

Thanks, ne
