"A sea of yellow carpets large swathes of land in a secluded village of Buri Ram where local farmers have found financial security with the golden petals of the ever popular dao rueng.
More than 30 families in tambon Ban Nong Mai Ngarm in Ban Kruat district have single-handedly worked from the ground up to transform the village. Previously they farmed cassava, sugar cane and potato, but now they have built one of the country's main marigold centres -- with zero help from the state."......
Problem is, that Thailand being Thailand, another 50 groups of farmers will now read this and do the same in search of financial security. A press article like this is probably the worst thing that could have happened for the Buriram farmers.
What the farmers may have not discovered yet is that marigolds are a food and vitamin supplement. If they can get into that supply chain what they're doing now would be small change. Do a Google for the many details on-line. Pete

When I was a wee lad one of my Aunts used to make marigold tea claiming it had many health benefits... guess she knew something.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
