               ok, whats better to perserve the traits of the parent seed?  I really want to plant the 255 Mitchell again next year, and want to try and perserve the genetics.  So do I self it or plant 2 and sibb it?

               Plant 2. Sibb 1 & self the other. Late in the year self the one you sibbed. Then struggle the next year with what you want to plant.
