Hey Rick! We just got word from the usda that they approved our gerplasm request of some old varieties or corn and beans and other niche seed that we plan to grow and save – tennesee and kentucky specific. I was wondering if you could expand on how you went about growing and saving your “phenotypical” experiment. Did you just…

Wow, thanks for that Steve. This is exactly the lines I am working on at the moment, but I think this is a bit advanced for someone who is coming from a very conventional start point. The idea of a main crop with “companions” could work. I also have to think about what machinery is available, for example I don’t think he can plant through too…
