Tam,

We contacted Millard Murdock, the breeder of Captain Lucky, based both on our own experience with the variety and based on the consensus of the "community". We asked for permission to be "the" breeder-preferred seed company to release the variety.

Captain Lucky is so good, we think it deserves to get out there as a featured item, and Millard deserves a royalty.

We hope that people will come to us each year to buy Captain Lucky. We'll try to keep our prices competitive, once other seed companies pick it up. And we hope that, given a choice, people will choose to reward breeders of freely-available exceptional OP varieties when buying seed.
