The original Buckbee Abraham Lincoln tomato may not exist anymore. Cleaned up as the result of a "major rebreeding project" means to me lost seeds, crossed seeds, or mixed up seeds.Why else would you change a popular heirloom?Just my opinion

I know Mike Dunton at Victory Seeds verywell, he and wife and two kids visited me when they came East a few years ago so Mike could attend a seminar on seed packaging at the region 9 USDA station in Geneva, NY.

My question would be WHO did any rebreeding and WHY?
