Re: IPGA Kick-off seed Winner


    Pumpkins associations, seeds actions?  This is all getting political.  At
this rate pumpkin growing is going to be corrupt far before I thought it
would.  People will be lieing about their seed genetics.  All it takes is one
person doing this and it can spread when someone grows a "fake" seed to huge
proprotions and everyone wants to get its offspring.    Before we know it
there will be 100's of Ray Waterman types advertising their companies on
here, but not all will be as honest as he.  It is too bad we can't leave the
politics out and just grow pumpkins.  But everyone wants to be part of a
"club" and everyone wants to feel important.  It is just too bad that one of
the things that go along with that is corruption.
