HE goal of every farm owner is paying crops. Getting 
them is not just a matter of good luck. Like with any other 
business, good management is vital. Knowledge of one’s 
soil ability, its preparation, fertilization, good timing of all 
the operations that pertain . . . that’s nothing new to any 
good farmer. But this little reminder about a most important 
helper ... your “‘silent partner,” if you please .. . namely, 
the seed you sow. It’s such a vital point. Actually silent 
in itself, yet the good results from sowing proper seed can 
speak so loudly in helping to produce paying crops.
