You're right, they don't want to hear it, but it's been my experience as well.

The other question is how to get well suited breeds when they're picking them out at the local feed store.  Most folks aren't digging to find breeders.  Trying to convince feed stores to carry climate suited breeds is a tougher slog than seems sensible.  Building relationships with their buyers is where it's at but it's balanced against the FOMO of lost sales for not carrying, 'nothing but the hits'.
