TOPIC: license for ginseng

What kind of license do you need to be able to sell rootlets and seeds.

If you are in KY, you can call the department of argiculture. I would think you would just need a dealers license. This will not cost you a dime.

I'm in indiana.Emailed DNR they really don't know what i am talking about,still working with them.There has to be ginseng farms on here that sell seed and rootlets.What type of license do you guys have. I just want to be legal.

I have a regular dealers license. Every state is different. Thier are about 14 states that have no program at all.

Thanks,kydigger That maybe all i need.Just want to make sure. LOL

VA , U dont need a license, just permission from landowner if U arent the landowner. I dont trust the fact that someone from state office wanted me to have someone \"inspect\" my patch where the wild plants grow. I am letting them sit for another year or two, since there is so much poaching in VA and I am not
trusting anyone in any office from giving out my info.

Here in MN you don't need a license to grow or sell ginseng as long as you sell it in the state of MN. If you intend to sell it out of state it needs to be certified by a conservation officer and a license has to be purchased at a cost of $5.00 per year.
