Why Don't They Just Sell Seeds For 1$?

I'm 46 this was in hatfield massachusetts back in the 80's. There were plenty of diff folks everywhere, but i had the pleasure of having a father who believed in developing a STRONG work ethic from an early age. I hated him until i was 21 and stronger than 95 % of most folks i met lol. Had a job doing SOMETHING labor intensive since the age of 10, i ended up falling in love with chain saws, bull line ropes and climbing knots, i also think 4 bladed wood chippers that cant chip and entire telephone pole if needed are pretty neat too.

It's a fairly new industry thats exploded in the last 10-15 years so it's a cash grab, like anything else it's supply and demand. If salesmen can convince consumers that their brand tastes better, grows faster, yeild's more, has pretty colors in it, people pay for it and pay for it with no guarantee they'll get any of it in seed form. There are people who buy things equating price with quality look at bottled water next time you're at the store. There were seed companies selling 10 packs of seed for $500.00 dollars not long ago. I would to like believe most people are smarter than that but some of the seed slingers were in business to long to not be selling any. Slick marketing and spam is all it takes, a few people hyping the next big thing on forums and you got a best seller. People eat it up just look at the nutrient companies. Selling the same dreams of bigger, faster, stronger and people line up.
