Crop value is not a single number off a price sheet. It depends on what was growing, at what stage, under what conditions, and what that product would realistically have sold for.
Why jurisdiction matters: Crop values depend on the market the product would have entered, and wholesale pricing differs by state market and period.

FAQ
Common questions
Does Ted have an office in Washington?
Ted is based in Denver, Colorado and does not maintain an office in Washington. Record review and consultation are typically handled remotely, with travel for inspections, depositions or trial when the matter requires it.
Is crop valuation the same as business valuation?
No. Crop valuation addresses the value of the crop itself. Ted does not provide business valuation or appraisal of cannabis companies.
Can a crop be valued after it is gone?
Often, yes, using plant counts, photographs, cultivation records, prior harvests and market data. The available records determine how precise the opinion can be.
