Cornfield

Cornfield- 85 days. I first obtained this from the National Seed Storage Lab back in 1983. An impressive old variety from pre Civil War days. Very productive and has a very great shape.

I found it last winter andI decided to  get it going again. Planted in 2021 ( seed from 1987) on July 6  and it did fabulous and had  a huge crop ripe by early October.
