Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the seed industry in 2007, stating that "for many years, the cost of Kentucky bluegrass seed has remained relatively stagnant, but...conditions have led to 'astronomic increases' in the cost of bluegrass seed." Explains that "growers, reluctant to plant new cultivars because the yield is uncertain, have also have asked higher prices for taking on the risk of planting new cultivars. Therefore, production of new cultivars will be limited until more is known about these grasses." Suggests that "to guarantee adequate supplies of seed, the seed companies must raise the amount they pay the farmers, who are seeing their production costs increase and their neighbors being paid record prices for wheat." |
