If you want to grow an organic crop, then you need to buy organic seeds. It’s that simple. Why? Because standard seeds have been produced in the standard crop system, with fertilizers and insecticides. In addition to this, standard seeds are simply not designed to be grown organically, meaning they are less disease resistant and are fertilizer dependent. If you try to grow standard seeds organically, you’ll likely you’ll produce a poor yield.
Organic seeds are different because they have been grown to withstand disease and pests in a way that standard seeds haven’t. They are designed to be planted organically, so they’re the perfect seed for an organic farm. What’s more, with organic seeds, you can choose the specific type that fits your purposes. This will depend on your soil, the standard rainfall and temperature as well as the known pests in your area. Blue River are some of the best available, and that’s why Crop Fertility Services is a proud Midwest organic seed dealer of Blue River. They provide organic seeds for a wide variety of crops.
