Yes and I forget which one it was but it was difficult to dry. He lost a fair bit in a bin couldn’t get it out even

Caraway is a pretty early harvest. A little air initially and it’s been good since. Temp cables.

Finding a market is the problem.

Do caraway and coriander flow very well? Light bushel weight crops.
I thought aeration was kinda a must have for these crops.

Weed control is probably tough.

Correct, caraway doesn’t flow well.

Some Edge with the spring granular fert did a good job for me.

Who are the buyers and what is the price...or is it too limited of a market that gets saturated too easy?

What is a typical yield?

It’s biennial. I planted it early July on some 2 wet to seed acres. Happens very often around here. The next year is establishment. You get one big year and it can be the first established year or the year after.

Yes very very limited market. I know someone who got $2/lb but it hasn’t been anywhere near that price in a few years. Official sources say 300-1000 lbs/acre but you have to factor in it’s at least a 2 year crop and max 3 year to total up to those lbs.

At current prices definitely not worth the effort.

Can’t spray with anything except Select. Poor options Farma. I won’t grow it again
