So my corn, the one that only two sprouted in. I have decided to restart with a new hybrid called Painted Mountain Corn. I have never planted this kind of corn before and am testing it out this year. It was developed by a Corn grower in Montana in 2007. It's an all purpose variety, it is great feed for livestock, excellent for corn flour, and tasty as corn on the cob (or so I'm told). It grows only four feet tall, making it excellent for small plots, is ready to harvest in less than three months, drought tolerant for a week in good temperatures like 75. F - 85. F, and heat tolerant up to 100. F for three days solid without water. And it has a 15% protein level in each kernel, making it highly nutritious. And I will report on this blog about my results.
And here's the link to Dave, the guy who developed this kind of corn:
