		<description><![CDATA[ It is this extra bit that has me stymied. We don't really make any money doing this cactus business. All of our money goes to shipping, governmental fees of several thousand dollars yearly in order to maintain our licenses, permits, and associated fees and overhead expenses. Knowing that this trip will lead us into negative financial territory makes me reluctant to want to go. Knowing that due to these regulations, we must take a sample of our water and have it analyzed monthly at unknown costs.... I have for the first time in these many years had serious thoughts to stop all production, stop the business, and plow the cactus into the ground, and have just a family garden in the future.

		<description><![CDATA[ I know it is a hassle.... but moving bugs from country to country is not anything one wants to do, the monetary and environmental impact of creatures moving across continents is horrendous (we deal with this all the time in the US), and our county is about to be quarantined due to a particular foreign moth found forty miles form here. We're exempt from the quarantine due to absence of the moth when they inspected a few days ago.... but knowing the problems it causes.... I want to make sure we do everything legally and correctly so we aren't the locus of some new bug that devastates Europe!  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This makes it very easy for us now... we can merely send him the cactus he has requests for, and he takes care of all the sales in Canada through his own company. So anyone in Canada that is searching for edible cactus can go to Sierra Madre Cactus Company Canada and get the leaves we grow ourselves. [...]]]></description>
