Watch This Man DESTROY 14 Different Varieties of Heirloom Corn At ONCE!

We are breeding a better corn! Don't worry. Joseph Lofthouse said it was okay. Grow or Die: amzn.to/3Jl79EH Landrace Gardening: amzn.to/3LPrqns This is really a fun project - I think you guys will enjoy it.

Once I grew Hopi blue Indian corn. When it got fully matured I ground it and made cornbread with it. It was a best tasting cornbread I have ever had

Thank you for mentioning, Joseph Lofthouse. I checked out his channel and love the concept of landrace gardening.

My FIL was a plant geneticist and worked his entire career for the USDA after he earned his PhD in 1948 after WW2. He developed the hairless sugarbeat and was written up in the Smithsonian magazine 😁 Just an old farm boy from Texas. I was not the avid gardener in the 90's as I am now but I always think of him when I'm working on genetics in my garden with my artist right brain. 🙃😝

My husband asked me the other day what our new garden style is called. I said " It's called do whatever you feel like doing that day." He said " don't be a smart@$$." I said "We are garden anarchists" and he said "I don't like politics." I said " But do you like lots of vegetables?" He just stared at me blankly. Lordy what would he do if I dumped all the corn varieties on the table and mixed them all up? It might be mutiny.

This is funny, I took 7 kinds of garden peas (shelling peas) and mixed them all up and planted them and plan to save the seeds. I want my own type of peas! I'm not sure peas will cross as easy as corn, but it don't hurt to try. This world needs more crazy people who want their own variety of seeds. God bless & keep growing

I got so excited when you opened a packet of Looney corn! I’m from Winchester, TN originally and that’s where it originated, named for the Looney family. I heard of that corn decades ago and was told that it was once widely grown in that area but we couldn’t find any source for the seed and assumed it had been lost. In more recent years I had even looked for it online just in case it was still out there somewhere. I had to pause the video and look it up on Southern Exposure and sure enough, it’s the same corn! Thank you David the Good! You have truly lived up to the name!

We call it letting the corn dance! The eagle corn is white and dark like a bald eagle. Sending prayers to great spirit.. 👍

You should have made one of those seed droppers that Deep South Homestead made with pvc pipe. No bending over

If your growing season is long enough, will you do a second planting of the original mix or try to plant any from what grows this year? I usually get in 3 plantings of sweet corn, in NE AL, purposely choosing varieties that produce in 75-85 days. I am letting them cross as well as most are hybrids and I want something more sustainable. I may try doing the middle planting with a bunch of the field/dent corn varieties I've been collecting. It's refreshing to see others be "mad scientists" in the garden to try to get plants that grow and produce well in your specific climate. My goal is to grow food and lots of it is as fast and economically as possible with as little outside inputs as possible. Thanks for inspiring me.

White eagle corn is actually kind of bluish purple. But if you look at the base of each kernel you will see a little white eagle. You're going to wind up with some weird looking corn. Lol

All the different colors of the corn kernels together like that were beautiful. Biodiversity is biosecurity. I hope lots of people understand this.

I have grown Painted Mountain flour corn. It was developed by Dave Christensen using the same method of mixing 1000 varieties of Indian and commercial corn for a very challenging northern area. This corn will reliably produce a crop. You are on the right track! Good luck!

I finally nixtamalized corn for the first time. Didnt have a corn grinder so I used my food processor. I had to add more water to get it to mix after nixtamalization. Ended up making a ground beef masa casserole with pepper jack cheese and beef tallow . super filling and tasty. Lasted 4 days.

Ahhhh literally was debating about do I try to bag to preserve the varieties... I also bought several different varieties of corn to see what would do well in our area. Thanks for the encouragement to just let nature do what it does! And now I will also be planting with my feet 🤪

Our family dogs always seem to chow down on dried corn surprisingly enough. We rent out a backfield and whenever semi-spent cobs are around they'd munch happily. Just typical feed corn too, nothing sweet, maybe the freezes make them sweeter? I hope this project goes well, would love to see the mishmash rainbow flour corn that comes of this line in a few years! Selection by chaos

This is how ya make a new heirloom anyway so I find it pretty cool

This is such a great video! I keep chuckling at the title.

I can’t wait to see how this turns out and next years crop too, God Willing ❤️

Great Idea! Love your channel David.
