Hi there! I plan making a hop yard in Hungary, and my question is: is it a problem if my hops get pollinated by wild hops (it's naturally growing here..)? if yes how can I avoid it? How far can the pollen travel? Thank you
 
tip 1) find and cull wild males
tip 2) favor triploid varieties which will yield less seed content
tip 3) find buyers who don't fuss too much about seed content
