Clyde has it exactly right.  I can only add that as compition has grown, and TC labs have overproduced, Hostas have become available at prices, that are stealing the profits from growers.  As many are no longer able to hold on to a profitable customer base, the obvious is taking place.  I expect more of this in the future.
