    I’ve been praising this variety for years, it’s fantastic.

    To me this was a history video it kind of shows a person how it was done years ago, great video.

    We did a "switcheroo" this year and instead of growing Glass Gem, we grew another heirloom variety called, Atomic Orange. It's shorter and stands up better to our occasional straight-line winds here in East TN. It is known for it's high beta carotene content. I usually dry and shuck it, put it into quart jars, then seal the jars with my vacuum sealer; removing all air. Then I just open a jar when it's time to grind some up for cornmeal and cornflour. I use the same storage technique for all our different beans that we dry too. Thanks for all your videos, we enjoy watching them.

    Great video here in the mountains in North Carolina old farmers pulled samples from different spots. Shucked the corn in a tub of water put three ears of corn if they float corn is dry enough to pull by hand leave on the cob

    Hey Greg , I was watching Danny from Deep South Home Stead and what he did with his corn cobs was very smart . Now he shells his my hand and leaves some at the top and bottom on the cobs then he gives them to the chickens. But what he does with the cobs after they been in the coop is a great idea. He collects them for next year and puts around four to a tomato plant . That’s a natural nitrogen source for the plants and hold moisture . Just saying didn’t know what u did with yours . Wish I seen it sooner because I have put my cobs in my pen after cutting off sweet corn and later burned them . Won’t be doing that no more
  • Hey Greg bought a lb of jimmy red seed from hoss this year planted 6 rows 50ft harvest 70lb the best corn bread and grits I ever had in my 71 years of life thanks for sharing
  • Is it possible for next year to show how you grow your corn from, start to finish, either in a series during the season or a single video? Many people might have more confidence to grow something, out of there comfort zone, if they have a guide. When you explained micro greens, that opened my eyes to other possibilities. I enjoy your manner of explanation.
  • Awesome video beautiful corn from field to table tutorial love it thanks for sharing 👍

    I'd almost given up on finding an antique sheller, so I bought a modern "knock-off" model online. Later, my older friend, who doesn't grow corn any more due to diet issues, gave me his old sheller, probably close to a hundred years old. He'd mounted the sheller on a wooden box, similar to yours. The modern "knock-off" will do the trick, but for functionality, quality, and workmanship, it can't hold a candle to the old one.
