Glad to hear you're back Scott.First thing I'd check is other 697 growers and
their seed count.Personally,my seed count varies from 125 to 388 so
far...kinda low.The 125 was from the 565lb rockwell progeny..seems that
germination/pollination problems may not have ended at the 879 level...I had
lots of flatties and half flats.The 568(559.2) had 340 and the 550 had
388....I'm guessing this is average or a little below average.Last years
count was 606 and 535.I think the more lobes=the greater opportunity .....but
many other variable far more inportant than # of lobes when dealing with
seed count...my 2 cents..Glenn
