Green Haven Open Pollinated Corn

A couple of months ago I sent for the Green Haven catalog. Since then I have not received any catalog or even a reply. Is it just that they send catalogs only at the end of the year?

I think green Haven and Greenfields are two dofferent seeds suppliers. Green Haven is openpollinated.com and they dont mention a catalog being available (at least i didnt see one), but do have a downloadable brochure.

As an aside

I dont know why, by now they havnt found a way to make op corn in the ballpark of bpa as hybred. I mean who knows how many people have worked op corn to change it into what we have today, from the indians on up. King worked on it Reid, and then his son, and many others, back in time, but it seems people have quit doing anything with it to advance it to get a bigger bu per acre. I have planted it way more than hybred, but have never been satisfied with the yield, BUT to be truthful, I have never gotten the yield off of hybred corn that they say i can get either, But I know others who have gotten high yields off of Hybred corn, and still couldnt get a forth of that off of OP corn. Just a vent to see what people say.

The hybrids are usually bred to produce the promised results only with specific chemicals. It's a commercial ploy, of course.
