Rebellion (Cycle 0)-  115 days This is a new Open Pollinated variety synthesized by crossing together classic inbreds and some Open Pollinated lines from the central corn belt and beyond.  Its heritage includes lines descended from Reid's Yellow Dent, Lancaster, MN 13, Pride of Saline, Cateto flints from Argentina, Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic, Iodent, and more.  It carries the Ga1s allele from popcorn and should be more resistant to outcrossing with other dent corn, but will readily cross with popcorn and pollinate any corn.  It  should not be planted near any popcorn fields.The development of this variety was carried out by Frank Kutka with support from the Organic Farming Research Foundation and the assistance of university corn breeders.  Management of this trait will be very important for seed savers and everyone is invited to learn more about the trait via this video Breeding "Organic Ready" Corn with Gametophytic Incompatibility on YouTube. Frank sent us this variety to help perpetuate it this year. I must say I was completely impressed with its  vigor, yield and standability. I planted it on June 4, it tasseled from August 1 and 3,  and was ready to harvest by late September. Every stalk had 2 full size ears , one stalk even had 6 ears, 3 good and 3 half size. This is a perfect corn for the person wanting good yields and performance of a modern development. Plants averaged 8 to 9 feet tall. Deep red cob with rich golden kernels.  To help further Frank’s important work, we will be sending a portion of the sales back to Frank to support  his projects.UNAVAILABLE FOR 2022.

Thanksgiving Bouquet - 110 days - An ornamental popcorn of my own selection which also has very good flavor.  I’ve always been fascinated by the genetics of brown kernel color in corn and how many ways the brown gene can express itself.  This was named because I think of browns and related shades at Thanksgiving time. To get the full complement of brown shades, not all ears will turn out brown.  The remainder will be very colorful nonetheless.

Altagold

A very early sweet corn I obtained from a seed company in Alberta Canada back in 1982. It does not  always do well here in Iowa as it prefers cooler growing conditions. Here we get too warm at night and it seems to not enjoy that. Typically here it will start to tassel when about 1 foot tall then  grow rapidly and have a tall thin stalk reaching over 3 to 4 feet tall. Ears are within a few inches of the ground which can be a problem here with heavy rains and wind. Truly suited for a northern short season climate. In 2019 I planted on July 10 on the east side of some tall trees so it would be in the shade during the hot afternoons and it did well. First edible ears were the end of August and it as dry  for seed and harvested by mid September. Pkt. ( approximately 50 seeds) $2.75. Certified Organic Seed.

Black Aztec

Black Aztec- 80 days - 6 foot stalks, 7 inch ears of white turning black kernels.The corns that turn from white to purple black are  true indicator of the days when you could tell how edible a corn was.
