I personal handled the money for our group which purchased a 1036.5 Kline
for $5970 candian (only $3880 US). It may seem like alot but consider this,
an half acre in my area about $4000, a lot on Long Island is way more than
$4000, 1/10 of the cost of a Ford Explorer $ 4000, 1/100 of the George W
Bush yearly salary $4000. Or a seed for a season with great genetics, a
reason to be outside, all the braging when you grow the big one and 600 or
so seeds to share with others $ 4000.
I'm sure Bill, Linda, Darrell,Glenn,My wife and I don't think we payed to
much it was for a good cause.
