Aren't there unique extinction concerns when a commercial hybrid is being aggressively farmed nearby a native species?

Not my field, but I'd assume the risk of cross-pollination and eventual accidental hybridization of the native species is high.

As you're essentially re-planting pure hybrids, but the native species is having to seed and grow generations normally.
