for making hybrids you must remove the tassels from one breed and leave the other breed that will cross pollenate with it's tassels. So you end up with male and female rows.

Post by: morris13 on July 14, 2001, 09:58:00 am: Damn! I'd almost forgotten about detasseling. =P I never actually did it because I had some pretty bad asthma when I was in High School, but lots of my friends made beacoup bucks that way every summer. I should have guessed Kazan was a farmboy =P

Post by: Kazan on July 14, 2001, 05:59:00 pm: the plebes are calling me "The Drill Sargent"... if you got moved to my group you knew you were sucking.... hehe... all but 2 that got moved to me for 'extensive training' became an extraordinary detasseller

the other supervisors were girls- except for the other guy and he doesn't have the physical, or mental presence to be "The Drill Sargent".. plus I can fire people without clearing it first

So what's the point of this thread again? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/confused.gif)

Most people are gone during the day, Kazan. It's nothing new. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
