Hate to ask but are you sure its dill?
Maybe Coriander or Caraway?
Is dill grown as a field crop?

A few farmers grow dill in that area. Some is dryland, and some irrigated. Production costs are probably not much different from other field crops. However, processing costs would be quite high. Crop is swathed, chopped like silage and then steam is pushed through the load to take the oil out. Oil is then separated from the water after the steam condenses.
