If hybrids produce seeds that aren’t ‘true-to-type’, then how do they keep making the same ones every year?
minus-squareNimrod@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoYou can’t possibly have time to breed all those different crops, so do you just buy from independent breeding/production programs, and sell retail? Sounds pretty entertaining. Just working with local growers, or all over the nation?
minus-squareThe_v@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoLol no I only doing a little breeding as a hobby now (Halloween pumpkins). Last count I had 14 different suppliers from local to internationals. I have dealerships, distributorships, as well as open market suppliers. I do both wholesale and retail. Basically, I don’t go fishing enough.
