Thought I’d share the innovative plant breeding they do.

Just down the road from here. Used to be a big employer locally, job for life if you could get in. Bit of a joke since the uni took over IMO.

Are you selling Germinal Seeds as well now Kev, or just providing us with a link for the opposition?

High sugar grasses.....perhaps a thing for another day. 
Moving on, I would point out (respectfully), that Germinal are not the only plant breeding company in the world, and that there are rather a lot of others who have been breeding grasses for a long time also and doing so in considerable volumes.
More to the point, no company I know of have a monopoly over all the best varieties available in any segment of the plant breeding game. Competition is good.
Some cracking festuloliums from those clever folks at DLF.

Fairly obvious there are other plant breeders I was just sharing what’s done here in Wales. [emoji849]
She's my sil .
Prepare yourselves for a pointless thread hi-jack.
My old Sanderson came from there 20 years ago.
Their gear was well maintained.

Back in the day they had a fleet of Masseys, all under two years old. There were stockmen and shepherds who never touched a machine, tractor drivers who never touched livestock and they also had two men just doing fencing and farm maintenance. Not to mention hundreds of scientists who did....... something, I suppose.

They've sold most of the machinery now. I think there's only one tractor driver these days and nearly all the work is done by contractors. I know some of the lads that work there. Most of the old school staff have been made redundant or taken early retirement.
