My prayers are up for the seed you have to grow. Around here the ground is too wet to plant. I talked to a farmer friend at church yesterday and he said all he could do was wait; otherwise the seed will rot.
We will not plan again until some time in October, and it is still very dry here.
Unfortunately we have many other farmers who are dependent on us for seed, and I am not sure how we are going to handle that yet.
It is a variety licensing issue. We had a total crop failure, because of the drought. Some of our neighbors have crops that may be suitable, but it is a licensing issue about using them for seed.
I do not farm, my father has the seed business.
Thanks for your prayers, it will be OK, though.
great link , thanks
