Thanks Ewest for a lead in to our new product line of aquatic plants. We are working on a plan to produce and offer beneficial aquatic vegetation for habitat enhancement.

We will be offering water iris and arrowhead this year, from some stock that has been propagated on our farm. We have started a small cypress tree farm and should have some small trees available this spring/summer. We are working on our plan to also provide some types of noninvasive water lilies, and we would also like to offer water willow.

Development of this sector will take some time, but we feel like we have the needed resources, and we know there there may be a strong market for beneficial aquatic plants.

We are certainly open to ideas from the PB community regarding types of beneficial aquatic plants that would be in high demand.

On the fish side, hybrid stripers are gaining popularity quickly, and reports from stockings are mostly very positive.

We did restart our production of F1 hybrid largemouth bass in 2018, using our Lone Star Legacy Bass x Inslee Northerns. We repeated this program in 2019, and had great success with feed training and production of enough fingerlings to be able to offer some hold-over stock for Fall sales also. In addition, we were successful in feed-training Lone Star Legacy Bass in 2019, so those sold out like hotcakes. We will continue these production programs in 2020.


It's ALL about the fish!
