Holly, The corn carries the double ear trait so it does not matter which you save. Most corn produces one ear if it is competing with other stalks and 2 or more ears if it is wide open to grow. I recommend saving the best looking ears of corn since that is what you want more of.

That points a perfect finger to the dangers of monocroping Steev...

Thanks Dar, When I plant it again, I try it on 24" centers instead of 18.

So, I was looking at the Southern Exposure Seed Site and Sandhill and boy there's a lot of dent corn out there.
Anybody have a recommendation for a dent corn that they really like..as in ground and baked?
I have great flint corn,and great flour corn...I'll post about flour corn later, when I'm through baking...
I have never grown dent corn, probably because we've always referred to it as chicken food. But is there a great dent corn? Native Seed Search even has a Mayo Batchi that is DRY farmed corn! (But is it edible?)
