OK...I forgot about the PHI beans not being RR2. So, the concencus is he would get higher yields yet just by switching to RR2. I think I've read that in other threads here. So, why wouldn't he do that? What's with this sponsorship thing? Are guys like him not true competitors? So he gets a free bag of seed from PHI, I'm sure his local Asgrow or Stine (!!) dealer could "comp" him 10 bags of seed for a plot. Then we'd know for sure what the best beans are to plant for 160+ yield goals.

I remember when Francis got that whole slew of new IH stuff to use instead of his older stuff....but then it was taken back I recall. Wasn't he PHI also?
