Default asparagus?

Hello,

I have a place in Northern Missouri (Zone 5 I think), and was
considering trying to make some money growing asparagus. Perhaps, I
thought, I may try to growing white asparagus using mulch to keep it in
the dark. I thought about buying crowns instead of seeds, but I am
still undecided. I also don't know which variety to buy. I want
something that taste good. A hybrid with all male plants, but I have
read that hybrid asparagus doesn't taste as good as non-hybrid
varieties. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
