Over the past 20 + years I've seen first hand the items we feed our corporate raised dinner, its just not what I want on my table - but I'm kinda picky about dinner  I share the same strong feelings about grazing  It's not for everyone...it requires extra attention to detail and thoughtful management to ensure success. I had a seasonal pasture-based dairy up until 4 years ago when I decided to abandon commodity agriculture forever. Was time to stop feeding the 'problem', if you know what I mean. ;D <Woodchuck> |

There's an item to cross off the list.  You crack me up, cff. Any corn they are trialing at Cornell was probably grown somewhere in NY. The farmers here plant alot of trials for both sweet and feed corns. If it can produce in NY, Indiana should be fine. |

I'd look for some Nokomis Gold seed....... Here's how turtletreeseeds hyped it..... NOKOMIS GOLD Cert. OG 102 days .Bred by Michael Fields Agricultural Institute for low input biodynamic farming from Indian Corn and Corn-Belt Dent crosses. Standability comparable to high production hybrid checks in Cornell Univ. trials, grain yield slightly lower. Preferred by animals over hybrids in preference trials. Flinty-dent type seeds with occasional colored kernels. <Woodchuck> I thought maybe Alan would be interested. He is always looking for something new. If they trialed it at Cornell, it should grow fine in your area of Canada, Mike. You have more frost free days than I do. I would expect it to produce here. |
