Rebellion (Cycle 0)

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 2021.
