Some of the breeders & others left Funk's G and help start Golden Harvest. Ciba & GH were later bought by Syengenta.
.
I was not aware of that but I do seem to recall that RobSeeCo (later known as Golden Harvest) grew and marketed Funk's G hybrids in the western district, until they split off and founded GH. That would have been sometime shortly after the Ciba buyout in 1975.
Also, Edward J. Funk and Sons marketed hybrids under the name Super Crost (at least for awhile) . I found this interesting link which may shed light on their eventual disappearance. It seems that everything that goes around, come around. http://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/05/business/company-news-garst-seed-... |
