 And it is going to make you extra broke. The price of vanilla ice cream is going to skyrocket. Madagasgar has had the worst vanilla bean crop in years plus in May 2019 they were going for $400/kiloi and that is before exports fees, shipping fees, and probable airport tariff. Mexico crop[ is dying and their prices were $800 and above. Stock up your freezer
PS I have some bourbon barrel cured maple syrup- ice cream anyone?

If they need help saving the crop there are lots of experienced hand pollinators on this site
