Yupe, big seed company.  And even after umpteen years as a seed farm, the 
land was still black gold.  There is a weird strip through that area that 
has nice soil but that was the best.  For those that have ever had a Crane 
melon, that is where they come from.  We had a place that backed up to it 
and all you had to do was throw seed at the ground and things grew.
