At last update, wild indigo commonly known as horsefly weed, was worth about $17-18 a dry pound.  The demand remains high.

Here is the USDA Plant Database link for Wild Indigo   http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=BATI (http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=BATI)

Hi Brad, Just wondering if you have any pics of the root that you could post?  I'm not at all familiar with this plant, but thought that if I were to stumble across a huge patch, that I may check it out.
