Re: The Next Great Cross
Another point to ponder - if one wanted to grow another seed line which did
not contain 723/845 or 846 up front, or 801, 935 back a couple generations -
what would you grow to provide an outcross to these 2 lines, that may have
the 1000 plus pound potential and heacy to the charts??

845 x 723, those will be good!
