justin 30b182e28a Three new brand scrapers: LG Seeds + AgriGold + Ebbert's Seeds (+310 varieties)
User flagged LG, AgriGold, and Ebbert's (local Ohio breeder) are
all active in farmer territory. Built three scrapers — corpus now
covers 5,839 chunks across 11 brands.

Net new varieties: 310
  lg_seeds        170 — corn 78 + soy 63 + alfalfa 16 + sorghum 13
                  → adds FIRST alfalfa coverage (FD 3-5 range)
  agrigold        111 — corn 60 + soy 51
  ebberts_seeds    29 — corn 17 + soy 12 (regional OH/IN breeder)

scrape/sources/lg_seeds.py — embedded-JSON pattern (cleanest):
- /products/<crop> pages have a `var products = [...]` blob with the
  variety summary (Variety, Maturity, Traits[], Bullets[], CropType).
- Per-variety detail page (/products/<crop>/<Variety>) carries the
  ratings as `<span class="bar-N">` where N is 1-9 on the canonical
  scale. Same 9=best direction as Bayer / Golden Harvest.
- Three sections per page: Characteristics / Management / Disease
  Tolerance, plus a few qualitative bars ("Tar Spot Susceptible",
  "Fungicide Response High") preserved as text values.

scrape/sources/agrigold.py — 5-circle scale:
- Listing page has 60+ /corn/explore-corn-hybrids/<CODE> URLs.
- Detail page renders ratings as <div class="scale"> blocks with 5
  child <div class="circle"> elements, of which N have class
  "circle selected" → rating N on a 1-5 scale.
- 7 sections per page incl. Silage Characteristics (Dairy Silage
  Rating, NDFd 30 Hr, Crude Protein), Planting Applications, Soil
  Adaptability, Plant Characteristics, Product Features.
- Distinct rating direction (1-5 vs Bayer's 1-9) — declared in
  _scale_direction so chunker preamble renders correctly.

scrape/sources/ebberts_seeds.py — small regional breeder, verbatim
text approach:
- Single page per crop (corn / soybeans / wheat). Each variety is an
  <h1> + multi-section CSS-grid block where labels and values are in
  separate adjacent cells. Reconstructing perfectly-aligned columns
  for a 29-variety total isn't worth the engineering — chunk body
  carries the verbatim text in document order, LLM can read the
  tabular content.
- Scale: 1-5 (1 = best, lower = more resistant), inferred from
  marketing-vs-rating cross-checks ("Robust tall plants" + STANDABILITY
  1.0 → 1 = best).
- Politeness: robots.txt asks for Crawl-delay: 5; honored.

All three new scrapers smoke-tested:
- LG corn LG5701 RM 116 SmartStax → 3 characteristic groups with
  Disease Tolerance ratings (Northern/Southern Leaf Blight 8-9, etc.)
- AgriGold A616-30 RM 86 VT2RIB → 7 groups incl. silage and soil
  adaptability ratings
- Ebbert's 7000TR RIB RM 100 → 1098-char verbatim body covering
  CHARACTERISTICS, DISEASE RATINGS, herbicide tolerance, etc.

Corpus state after this PR:
- 5,839 chunks (was 5,529)
- 11 brands (was 8)
- 8 crops (corn 3047, soy 2209, silage 359, wheat 123, sorghum 49,
  cotton 30, alfalfa 16, canola 6) — alfalfa is brand-new
