This seams to change dialy for me but I will give it a try Dave. It is really tough to narrow down the list. Seven plants at Lanterra could include
1097 Beachy which is a sure thing
735 Pukos maybe
1016 Daletas maybe
1446 Eaton is possible
1301 Eaton is possible
2 - 781.5 Landry for sibbing
812 Landry polinator for the 1446 and 1301

At Cornerstone the list is a bit simplier. of the six or 8 plants we hope to start off with these main plants. Except for the 695* all are proven 1000 pound producers.
1133 Demers
419 Pukos
695* Landry
611.5* Hester
961 Daletas
1225 Jutras
709 McCallum

The new third site at 89 Top Soil. Will be the test patches.
Here we hope to grow and market many 100 to 200 pound fruit to large supermarket stores and sponsors. They include
at least a 12 or so of your own BIG Max x AGP seed Dave. we have also discovered that my own 190 Landry 03 produces very nice shaped large fruit for Jack-o-lanterns around 100 pounds with very little care. We have about five pounds of seed from the 04 progengy to fill about an acre. A side benefit is they may have some PM resistance too.
