1 year agoI’m really excited to see that it’s progressing! In particular, it is now possible to actually buy seed, which is a major development. Looking closer, however, you do need to apply and be licensed to do so. Found this to be interesting: https://kernza.org/wp-content/uploads/Obtaining-Seed-and-Becoming-a-Kernza-Grower-May-2022.pdf
Main takeaway; weeds are a problem, yields comparatively low. Royalties of $5/acre seems reasonable, assuming the seed is not massively expensive, and it actually takes & the plants live long enough. Wish I had the equipment & space to give it a try!
Any update on where the wrecker went, and what it did went it got there? Inquiring minds want to know ! /s
Seriously, thanks for helping to make it easier to not have to go back to ‘that other place’ ever again!
