Plant Catalog Update

If you're on our catalog email list, you should already have seen this little note from orders@badgersett.com. If you want us to add you to the list, just send an email to that address!

Hello Folks,

HAZEL MAZE OPEN!

----------------
As those of you in neighboring states should already know, the Hazel Maze at Badgersett Farm is now open, and will be on weekends through the end of October. We now have a Facebook page with the most recent pictures and status updates for the maze. Check it out and Like us at:

PLANT CATALOG UPDATE
--------------------
The hazel and chestnut harvests are in, and hickory-pecan harvest is nearly finished. With the seed in, we've updated our plant catalogs for 2013 orders. The largest changes are to the NeoHybrid Hazel catalog, where we now have a little bit of a buying guide.

ONLY AVAILABLE FROM BADGERSETT!
MACHINE PICKED hazels are now a larger part of the catalog. 2012 marks the second year that we've harvested nuts for both eating and seed by machine. It's clear: this works well enough that machine harvest with this style of picker is definitely going to be a major direction for industry development. Also, in most cases it is already substantially less work to harvest by machine, even in our patchy research-oriented plantings.

PLACE YOUR 2013 ORDER NOW!
For several reasons:
- The earlier you place your order, the more likely you will be to get your plant order on the date requested without substitutions.
- Ordering now locks in your selection, and protects against price increases.
- The catalog is getting more complex, and we may be removing some of the less popular options within the next few months.
- Large orders placed now allow us to prioritize seed processing and handling in order to allow us to deliver as close to the requested date as possible.
- Large orders (over $1,000) can pay 50% now to reserve your place in the shipping queue. If you are able to complete payment by March 1, we will still apply the 5% early payment discount.

Good Growing,
From the Folks at Badgersett Research

p.s. Interested in buying seed? It's not in the catalogs yet, but since our seed harvest has been increasing, we are intending to again offer hazel and chestnut seed for sale, possibly as early as late 2012. Select and hickory seed will still be unavailable due to limited supply.
