Of what's wrong with a lot of the new "morphs" introduced into the corn world each year.



The people producing them have no idea what they are, and what's more...they don't care.



They just have corns that look "distinct," so they're going to name them something cool and sell them as the new great thing in the corn world. Out to make a quick buck? You be the judge.



Look, if you don't prove it out as a separate genetic-based morph...don't try to sell it as such. It takes a lot of work to prove that you have uncovered something new, and those people who do not understand what it takes (or do who understand and are merely trying to cut corners) are part of the reason so many new and inexperienced corn buyers are disappointed with their purchases.



If you have something new...cool! But have the integrity to PROVE it BEFORE you make the claims. If it's truly distinct, you'll have the time to prove it out before the market even knows about your new gene. If not...what's all the fuss about in the first place?



This may not be a mere marketing ploy, but if it walks like a duck...
