Cheap seeds prove a bad bargain
A Maryland Agricultural College note recounts two farmers buying timothy and clover seed at different prices. Jones chose cheap seed at 2.50 to 3.25 per bushel, yielding poorer hay and lower net earnings than Thomas who paid 3.25 per bushel for the best seed. Thomas produced 2 tons per acre and net $26, while Jones produced 1.5 tons and net $15, costing 83 cents vs 1.08 dollars per acre. The study asks if bargain seed pays.
