That sounds a lot like the DEA estimates of how much the street value
of marijuana plants are ("Let's see, under ideal conditions this plant
could produce 2 kilos of product, and the highest price we've ever seen
for dope was $X/ounce, so this flat of 2" high seedlings is worth

any time anything moved.
