If hybrids produce seeds that aren’t ‘true-to-type’, then how do they keep making the same ones every year?

    You can’t possibly have time to breed all those different crops, so do you just buy from independent breeding/production programs, and sell retail?

    Sounds pretty entertaining. Just working with local growers, or all over the nation?

      Lol no I only doing a little breeding as a hobby now (Halloween pumpkins).

      Last count I had 14 different suppliers from local to internationals.

      I have dealerships, distributorships, as well as open market suppliers. I do both wholesale and retail.

      Basically, I don’t go fishing enough.
