Re: Seed Choice and the 1K Mark
Just dont let the list know it is me you are thinking of when you mention
"some one will do it this year"......... I wouldnt want any exta pressures
put on me.. lol... Here is myfinal choices,
1. Checkon 815 (main patch)
2. Lloyd 935 (main patch)
3. Andersen 977 (secondary patch)
I want to cross the 815 with the 977 to reinforce the same genetic traits of
the 1006 Greer it had in the 977, and now seems to have since growing the
1190 from the 815. It will help wall thickness, and you gotta love the fact
the 935 is also involved here..
