Several years ago I priced bahaia. I don't remember the exact cost but seems like it was fairly expensive, maybe around $7/lb.
I looked into harvesting it at one point, but since the seed is very small, smaller than a sesame seed, its fairly expensive to get the combine/harvesting equipment that will harvest a seed that small.
When producing seed you also have to be tested as to how much seed from weeds, etc., is in your seed, so if you are going to grow bahaia to harvest the seed, you have to do weed control. If you don't and your seed doesn't test to be 90% bahaia or higher, you might not be able to sell it.
As James suggested, visit with your local ag agent. If he can't give you some good info, he can probably tell you who you need to talk to.
