(95 days) Open-pollinated. This new flour corn developed by Dave Christensen Seed We Need® Dave spent 30 years creating a nutrient-dense grain that is fast maturing under harsh conditions so people can feed themselves! This corn has many ancestors from experiment stations in N. Dakota, Canada, Poland and Romania. The genetic diversity makes it so customers can keep the seed that adapts to their area. It predominantly contains the rare Floury 2 gene that gives it high levels of the essential amino acids (proteins) that are deficient in other grains. It contains significant levels of lysine, tryptophan, and methionine. The high digestibility makes it an outstanding food for people and livestock. The high methionine makes it the first choice for chickens. The soft starch makes fluffy cornbread and also binds well for Johnnycakes, and tortillas. The protein type gives it a rich amazing flavor. You will really enjoy boiling it for a high protein breakfast cereal!
Created for climate change, for tomorrow’s necessary generation of homesteaders, and people around the world trying to survive drought. The modern type plants have strong high-lignin stalks and roots that stand strong for machine harvest, unlike fast maturing Native lines. Most have single stalks; often no suckers. High placed ears. Cob appearances vary. Most have 10–14 rows of yellow grain. These are the survivors of years of drought in dry land northern Montana. Harvest when husks are dry and kernels are hard. Plants which matured early September are still standing strong for possible machine harvest mid-October. 2024 Fedco introduction. Independent Breeder. NEW! ①
