THAT is why people like us here in Texas, use Heirloom Seeds that you CAN get your future crops from.

This is true, but buying hybrid seed every year pays for itself with the increased resistance to disease, drought, and pests. As well as increased yields. But for someone in your situation hybrid seed is not needed. But I don't see how hybrid seed hurts you. You don't have to use it.
