    Hi Dylan, howzit? Rob is looking for some new variety of seed to plant experimentally on one part of the farm. What are you growing now? We have Cat128/9 and SL28, didn't like the quality of F6. What have you had most success with?

    Our F6 was rust resistant for a while, but started getting rust, so we've been replacing it w/129.
    Have you heard of anyone growing Bourbon in Africa? I think Chipinge was doing some trials, but, well, we know what happened there.
