Hi Obol,

Ann out of Myrtle Creek brought up an interesting question. What is going on with seed prices? According to the owner of the feed store where we shop, it's because of corn. Now it's very profitable to grow corn for ethanol, so farmers are abandoning seeds for corn. Also, the cost of gas is so crazy, it makes trucking things even more expensive. 

We have plenty of sunflower plants in our yard, I wish we could grow that Niger Thistle too!
