I am on Frank Kutka's Corn Culture FB page (its not really a group, Frank set it up wrong and then wouldn't change it) and he just posted that he is moving and will be dispersing some corn breeding work that he doesn't need anymore and doesn't want to take with him. It is free to interested amateur corn breeders for the cost of postage (paid upfront). I'll copy the entire post .
"Kutka is moving, so old seed is going to go away. If you would like some 4 or 8 way synthetics of more modern lines to mix into your OP projects, I have plenty of seed. However, I cannot sell it - I have no license to sell seed, the seed is getting older and is not germination tested, and these seeds are for experimental/breeding purposes and not production. So seed is going to be free to fellow corn folks in the USA, but postage and handling will have to be paid up front. Not looking at this as a commercial venture, but would like to have expenses covered. I will send small flat rate boxes with up to @1lb of seed in a 1 qt bag for $12 postage and handling, and I will send large flat rate boxes with many pounds of seed in a plastic grocery bag for $25 postage and handling. Here is what I have to give away:
1. An 8 way synthetic for North Carolina to Arkansas
2. 4 and 8 way synthetics with @110 day RM
3. 4 and 8 way synthetics with @95-105 day RM
4. 4 and 8 way synthetics with @85-90 day RM
5. 4 and 8 way synthetics with @75-80 day RM
6. Rachel Carson 8 way synthetic with ECB resistance
7. Cornell Tetraploid composite
8. Composites of very early flints (not modern)
9. Composite of Falconer early semident (not modern)
10. Small amounts of seed with waxy, purple, floury 2, or gametophytic traits
If any of these seem like fun let me know and we can work out details. Please let other home breeders know if these sound helpful. This seed moves or otherwise goes by Halloween. Thank you."
