Sounds like a pimpled-up teen-aged super-hero character from another planet who gets real flakey if you mess with him. And by the way, he has a red outfit with a big logo on his chest with a yellow CC.  Secondly, it doesn't taste that good. I've tasted it two or three times. Third, I understand it's meant for Washington growers only, wherein WSU has a restriction. I not sure about this, but if true, I wonder if WSU gets any our federal taxes. Is so, and you want to grow it, contact your Senator.

Land prep, trees, support, tractors, irrigation, machinery buildings and housing for H2A labor included. I do not know if overhead towards packing facility was factored in.
