| Becks was using 130k seed counts BEFORE big M went to 140K. I've been to a Beckology tour of their plots, and I agree, I don't see how much useful conclusions can be made with a 4'x4' plot. We just confirmed all our seed orders last week and, on an average, I didn't see much difference per seed price. I did notice, at least in '09, the germ. on Becks was 92%-90% where Asgrow was mostly 90% and had 4-mini's with 85% germ. In '08, we had some Asgrows with 80% germ. I don't know if germ. numbers are deadly accurate or not, but I always adjust my seeding rate accordingly. | |
