I can add Early Annie, Defiant, or Burbank. What do your guys think of the list this year?
I'm excited to see that you're growing Sheyenne, North Dakota Earliana, and Jet Star (F1?). I haven't grown those, yet, but I've heard great things about them (I'm not sure about for market, yet). North Dakota Earliana is on my 2017 list, too. In your area, I imagine early ones are probably best for market. I know in my area, people seem to want slicers and salad tomatoes most in June and July, and they mostly want the later ones for canning, sauce or salsa (which is not what most people online like the late ones for).

Chapman seems like a good tomato for market. It's not early, though, but it's awesome. It's firm, perfect-looking, large (2lbs), and decently productive for the size.

Lemon Boy F1 should work fine for market, if you don't get many cracked tomatoes (I got cracks on at least a few). It's not as productive as I'd like. I prefer Early Girl F1, but Lemon Boy is bigger. They're both heat-tolerant.

Black Giant is a decent tomato. It may be a little soft for market, though.

I'll be interested in your growout results for your list after the season. I'm very curious about how some of those do (e.g Neves Azorean Red and Chalk's Early Jewel).
