he can spray round instead of using the hoe? That might change his mind for that reason alone.


It cost $375 for five pounds. That might change his mind back.

Damn that's high.

He has a small garden. So he could buy a pound of seed for $75 or he could buy it local grown and picked. 300 ears @.25 ea for the same $75. I know which option I would choose.

ETA
Can you grow it one year and save some ears and replant the following year? Hypothetically of coarse. A local farmer/seed producer here lost a 8.7 million dollar lawsuit when Monsanto sued him for doing the same thing with cotton. Monsanto vs Scruggs.

Sadly, I guess I'll continue to hoe and spray.
