Original Toronto Star caption: Expensive crop: It costs $25;000 an acre to start a ginseng farm - most of it for the lumber needed for the posts planted 3.7 metres (12 feet) apart; which hold up wooden slats to keep the sun off the fragile ginseng plants on a farm run by manager Woo Lee; west of Highway 400 near King City.
