Holy cow! I had no idea opuntia pads were worth so much! I need to start selling them! I feed out ten 5 gallon buckets of those every week in summer, and I still have to cut the main stands back every fall.
Darn it! You mean I'm not rich and I can't retire yet???Don’t get too excited Tom. They are three pounds to the dollar (you read that right) in the big Mexican markets in LA. You’ll have to find the right buyer.
YMMV. They are $2/pound near me as well and they grow here!

Tortoises, what you gonna do? Lol
