Some of thatstress tolerance breeders look at can include ability to weather too much water! Hope the season takes a turn and gets you something much more normal for a bit!

Out here in West Central Texas, we have had quite a spring season trying to choose the right variety. Everyone had their favorite long season varieties booked to start planting earlier than normal this year. Then it started raining. And raining. So everyone started scrambling for different varieties. Shorter season ones, wetter season ones, you name it, we were all in a time crunch panic. It looks like everyone got some type of seed in the ground, just before “Bill” makes land fall and brings us more rain. We can never have enough variety choices out here next to the Chiuahuan Desert because of the extremes we see here. So we are super thankful for all the research and development from all the seed companies!
