It's time to buy seed for next spring. The seed companies all give you price breaks if you pay for next years seed now. That's fair enough for me, I have the most money right now because I just sold my crops. I want to plant regular old corn and that can be a big deal. I was told by one company (who is owned by a chemical company) that regular corn cost $50 a bag more than their spray ready stuff. Wow! Another company, who is NOT owned by a chemical company can sell regular seed for $50 less than a spray ready corn. Could it be that I am supposed to buy the spray ready so that I have to buy the spray? And will it really take me 25 years of losing money on non spray corn before I see a profit? We never used this spray ready corn until last year and we seem to have made money before.
The sad truth is, I think someone is using scare tactics to make me think I need to buy their corn. I don't like being threatened into buying anything. But, I will do more research before I decide. Maybe I will lose so much money planting natural corn that I will have to invest in Monsanto just to survive. I was told today that scientist know more than "mother nature",( isn't that a politically correct term for "God"?)
