Crookham Company worked with Clay Erskine at Peacefully Belly Organic Farms to test untreated Temptress. Clay found Temptress to have great emergence and liked many aspects of the plant and ear.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Crookham's 2018 Onion show. It was great to hear your growing experiences with our hybrids and to show you what we have come around the corner. Oracle, Scout, Red Beret, and White Cap came out with high marks from Growers. Crookham's new hybrids are in the queue to be named shortly but have earned the nickname of "bulletproof" in trials over the last several years.
