[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 949828, member: 17956"] Banjo, According to what I've read, and once again I have NO first hand knowledge. The better hybred varieties don't produce seed, or atleast not much if they do. My first choice would be Vaughn's # 1, but I think it's protected. That leaves the mid 99. It's sprig only. Yes, I raised tobacco for years. Dark only, 16 acres. I quit with the buy out. I wish the government had put us on reservation some where. I am lost with out. Especially this time of year. I'm not going to raise it for the companies. I would pick crap with chickens to put food on the table before I did that. Side note raised the 16 acres with out hiring help, except a couple young guys housing. Beefy, To the best of my knowledge nobody around me raises. The land grant university did a little research 7 or 8 years ago. The mid 99 was one of 4 varieties that survived the winter. Coupled that with Isomades advice and settled on it. I've sent some emails to the university folks. I doubt they have any more info than is available online already. There reputation and mine are exactly the same. You know their out there, but nobody has ever seen one. I may be chasing my tail, but I've got it in my jinormous thick head that 20 acres of Bermuda will let me stock pile enough fescue to make it to Christmas with out feeding hay.------on a year it actually rains.
