RT @AgrarianSharing: What happens when the best of visionary, holistic, regenerative-design practice hooks up with revolutionary, leading-edge, ag science in an entirely novel paradigmatic combination functionally ‘clicking!’ at a co-evolutionary level?

OSU Broccoli Grex.
(S. Oregon-adapted accession, 2024)
Unparalleled 'modern landrace' emerging from one of the scientific agricultural research complex's most sophisticated and celebrated participatory plant-breeding programs. Adapted to the Applegate Valley by the ASN Seed Increase Initiative in 2024. 90-100 day maturity spread. Want highly adaptive Broccoli? This is it!

"So, this localized accession weds the finest that formal scientific plant breeding has to offer in genepool _development_, to a visionary, counter-cultural iteration in genepool _advancement_. And we're freely sharing it in Williams, OR, this weekend." facebook.com/share/p/1BzaNJaCqu/?mibextid=wwXIfr

There, our farm team is deep into transplanting season, including a key seed-increase—the crop complex considered the 'de facto' cornerstone of planetary Broccoli diversity.
