Planting for your region
Your location plays a large role in selecting the right crops to plant on your land. Certain seeds are well adapted to different zones, either thriving in warmer conditions or cooler conditions. Depending on your region, you’ll either shop for warm-season seeds or cool-season seeds. You’ll also need to consider the amount of rainfall or irrigation your crop will receive.

The right seeds for your needs
In addition to the conditions and characteristics of your environment, you’ll want to identify the intended purpose of your crop.
