Add 4 independent seed brands: Latham, Stine, 1st Choice, Burrus (+623 varieties)
...
Four independent regional brands across IA/IN/IL (variety-identity sources,
each parsed into structured characteristics_groups so ratings embed):
- latham (264: 155 corn + 109 soy) — Latham Hi-Tech Seeds, Alexander IA.
WordPress REST enum (/wp-json/wp/v2/varieties) + /products/<slug>/ detail
HTML. Scale 1-9 LOWER=better (reversed, like NK/AgriPro).
- stine (217: 58 corn + 159 soy) — Stine Seed, Adel IA (largest US
independent). sitemap enum + /{crop}/traits/<slug>/<code>/ detail HTML.
Corn 1-9 (9=best); soy qualitative.
- first_choice (78: 52 corn + 22 soy + 4 wheat) — 1st Choice Seeds,
Rushville IN (employee-owned). Per-crop sitemap -> detail HTML. Scale
0-10 higher=better. ~40 older corn pages thin at source; wheat
identity-only.
- burrus (64: 38 corn + 26 soy) — Burrus Seed, Arenzville IL. Seedware
JSON API. Scale 1-10 (10=best). Brands Burrus/Power Plus/DONMARIO.
robots ai-train=no + named-bot blocks; operator opted in, scraper uses a
non-blacklisted UA + honors Crawl-delay 10.
All 623 validated through rag.chunk.chunks_from_variety (0 errors; 6
identity-only pages from source gaps). No chunk.py change needed (identity
sources auto-route to chunks_from_variety).
Docs:
- sources.json: 4 entries + Hoegemeyer added to _excluded_sources. The
Corteva ToU (shared across pioneer.com / hoegemeyer.com / therightseed.com
/ corteva.com + the Vylor spinoff) bans scrapers + competitive use, so the
whole Corteva family is one excluded ToU domain.
- docs_mcp/lessons.md: rating-scales updated with all 4 directions +
an explicit cross-vendor warning (Latham 1=best vs Stine/Burrus higher=best
— never compare raw numbers without _scale_direction).
- README + CLAUDE corpus inventory: now 2,268 variety + 6,787 trial records.
CI rebuilds the index from the committed corpus.

README: reflect deployed state — 5,073 chunks, eval numbers, 6 tools
...
The scaffold-era README was out of sync with the shipped product:
- Vendor counts stale (recon estimates, not actual deployed counts)
- Trial data sources (gh_plot_reports + agripro_trials) entirely
unmentioned
- Tool list listed `corpus_status` (doesn't exist) and missed both
`lookup_variety` and `search_trials`
- Build-phase table showed everything as "pending" / "next" but
Phases 1-8 + 11 all shipped
Rewrite to reflect the deployed state:
- Corpus inventory: 760 variety records + 4,313 trial documents =
5,073 chunks across 6 sources
- All 6 MCP tools documented with their purpose
- Eval baseline table (hybrid+rerank wins 100%, P@1 90%, MRR 0.905)
with the surprising findings (dense alone is noise; hybrid w/o
rerank is WORSE than BM25 alone)
- Deploy mechanics: Watchtower chain, 4-GPU embedder pool, shared
llama-rerank sidecar with the network-attach gotcha
- Status table: ✅ on the phases that shipped, deferred work list
(becks_pfr, 2023 plot backfill, NK trials, Channel Seed brand)

seed-mcp scaffold: clone docs-mcp-template, customize for crop_seed PRODUCT_NAME
...
Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 7s
Sibling project to crop-chem-docs, same MCP-template lineage. Corpus is
seed/hybrid varieties across 6 vendors instead of pesticide labels.
What's customized vs. the template:
- CLAUDE.md: vendor matrix, build priority, Pioneer fallback policy,
canonical sidecar schema (per-crop), Golden Harvest disease-scale
reversal gotcha, no-IPv6 / HTTPS-clone note
- README.md: vendor coverage table, tool list, phase status
- Dockerfile: PRODUCT_NAME=crop_seed default, sources.json (not
bundles.json), HYBRID_SEARCH=true, OLLAMA_URL + RERANK_URL Docker
DNS defaults (same llama-rerank sidecar as crop-chem-docs)
- .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (seed catalogs move
slowly), 5 GREEN scraper steps, corpus-YYYY.MM.DD tag for Drawbar
pinning, continue-on-error on GC step
- .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: paths filter + cancel-in-progress
concurrency group
- scripts/registry_gc.py: lifted from crop-chem-docs (correct Gitea
packages API URL + UA header to bypass CF block on default
Python-urllib UA)
- sources.json: catalog of 6 sources + scope_filter + per-source
schema notes + Pioneer-exclusion rationale
- scrape/runner.py: dispatcher with --all = GREEN-only
- scrape/sources/{bayer_seeds,golden_harvest,nk,agripro,becks_pfr,
becks_products}.py: stub modules with implementation notes
- docs_mcp/server.py: PRODUCT_NAME default → crop_seed,
PRODUCT_DOCS_URL → repo URL
Pioneer is intentionally NOT a source. ToS bans automation; dealer
locator is login-gated. The MCP returns a curated fallback lesson
directing the user to pioneer.com.
Next phases:
- Phase 1: implement bayer_seeds (lift-and-shift from crop-chem-docs
Bayer scraper; same __NEXT_DATA__ infra)
- Phase 7: curate eval/queries.jsonl
- Phase 11: lessons.md with Pioneer fallback + disease-scale notes
