Boone County White Corn

Amazing corn that will impress neighbors

I grew fifty of these Boone county corn plants in Massachusetts in 2023. These plants did fantastically with many of them growing 12 feet tall and producing large ears (1-2 per plant, mostly 1). It probably helped that the plants had access to a three inch thick layer of compost. I also tied them up to reduce the risk of them falling over, The neighbors were impressed by these tall plants! If harvested early the ears were good as sweet corn, but when harvested later this corn produced good flour, grits, and polenta. The polenta was especially good with delicate tones of of sweet corn that I normally do not get with flour corn.

They are just coming up. Looking good though.
