Exclamation 'Dandelions' ... the new cash crop!




There could be gold (not just the colour) in that dandelion 'goo'; http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/05...bber-for-cars/

I'm looking for investors to start up a dandelion plantation ... anyone interested?!

Who is selling shares for this new industry? It might be just like getting into Lear Jet, or Apple Computer in the early days.

I pity anyone downwind of these plantations

I can see it now; ag companies coming up with dandelion breeds that will be touted as being canola and barley resistant Then because the breed is patented we'll all receive invoices from ADM for the unlicensed dandelions that are growing on our land.

The last couple of years have been brutal. My daughter keeps telling my that the leaves make great salad. Good...start grazing my child.

I don't think starting up a dandelion plantation would give you a head start on much, the whole countryside is one big plantation this year.

They don't taste that bad in salad at all. Kind of like an alternative to spinach...

Finally, a man with vision ^ !

Just think of the possibilities ... dandelion wine, dandelion salad fixings, dandelion white 'goo' to make rubber, . . . ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching $!$!$!

As I said in post #1, I'm looking for investors!
