Gehring gets $3.50 to $5 a pound for spearmint and $5 to $7 a pound for the more delicate, harder-to-cultivate peppermint. This year, all of his spearmint will go to William Wrigley Jr. Co. to flavor chewing gum. The peppermint will go to Wrigley, Beech-Nut and other gum makers. Naturally, Gehring is a faithful gum-chewer...
