I found some white eagle on easy. My favorite of all time is hopi pink corn. It's glorious. I've been giving the seeds away to as many people as I can.

I hope he has someone that will continue what he and his forefathers has done.

My generation remembers the old ways. A lot has been lost. The difference in flavor and aroma in stone ground and store bought is unbelievable. And another thing is when you do it yourself you savor the flavor even more.

It would be great if you could do a Foxfire type series for growing plants in the garden, old tales, and just interview the older generation. All they went through and lessons learned, we are losing all that knowledge ❤

I used to grow corn as a child. I ordered some and I grows well. My grandmother used to plant the three sisters. She used to sing, Jimmy crack corn and I don’t care. I remember food tasted back then.

Thank y'all. Absolutely was watching this one intently. Finding the old timers and talking to them is the best way to figure out what to do and how to do it. I can spend hours just listening and learning. If they are willing to share sit down and just listen.

My uncle that lived in Waycross Georgia had a grits mill that ran off the pto on his tractor and it had the screen built in he could grind grits corn meal and corn flour i was about 10 years old and I thought it was amazing but didn't appreciate how useful it was now I'm 74 and wish I had payed attention to a lot of the things the old folks were doing another good show

I would love to have that corn seed!

Thanks for a great video! I really enjoyed that. Be careful wobbling that bucket or mama Hoss will have you wobbling the laundry... lol

I really enjoyed this video installment on heirloom corn. I have never grown the Cherokee white whale corn but have known about it all my life. My granddad used to talk about it when I was growing up how it was what they grew when he was young. He never could find the seed for it so he always grew white prolific.

Wow, I in joyed that video, I remember my grandma making butter when we went up RomeGa. Back in early 50th.

We need part 2, you left too much on the table over there. Very interesting individual, Mr. Poke is an inspiration, a guiding light and needed during these times, I think he can contribute alot to our younger generation. Very good video just too short. Thank both of you for making it happen.

I have a suggestion for classifying into a bucket. Place a small handful of stones into the screen to shake round with the corn, and it will classify your corn faster. The stones will help to prevent the corn from massing together, so it doesn't just slide as one piece across the screen.

Loved this episode! Thanks for showing this Gregg! I market garden in Texas and then dry wash and detect gold in the hot season in Nevada. I felt funny using my bucket classifier screens on my corn ground through a corona hand mill. But before long word got around and I have several old timers in the neighborhood beating down my door for fresh ground good stuff. I didn’t know about the wobbler stand. I use clumps of bushy grass or weeds to rock the bucket on for my gold. Party on Gregg!

Greg, have you ever heard of white nighting field corn? I have some seed that I plant every other year to keep it going. It has stalks that are from 10-15 ft tall and produce big ears of white corn with a few kernels on each ear that are purple. It makes some really good meal.

Any tips on finding about 20 acres of good land for market gardening in Brooks County close to Morven?

"Most cornmeal has been degermed, with oil from the germ put to use in making vegetable oil. Some, but not all, of the nutrients lost when corn is degermed are restored in enriched cornmeal." They take out the most flavorful parts to make oil. Also the cornmeal won't go rancid as fast with the fatty part taken out. But of course we don't have that problem with freshly ground.

Simply amazing!!!!!!

I grew it several years ago it's a really good corn.

Wow that’s awesome! That corn looks just like the corn my grandpa used to grow here in the foothills of NC. I’ve got three ears left from his that have got to be at least 25 years old. I’ve been scared to shell them and plant them to see if the seeds are still good because i hate to loose it if it don’t come up. I’m curious to know if it really is the same because I’ve never seen anymore that looks like it. The closest I’ve found was some hickory king that crossed with jimmy red but it’s not quite the same. Just curious if y’all might eventually have these seeds for sale?

Oh no! Hate that BUT you can grow more! 👏🏼👏🏼

The change in flavor isn't from genetic engineering or fortification (both very good things), it is simply that commercial corn has been breed for yield first, not flavor. The result is we get really productive corn and cheap feed for animals, but the the taste has suffered. This has been very common for most crops and why heirloom crops, while not commercially viable, often taste better.

I am wondering what is the best for flavor for grits and corn meal. I considered switching to hoppi but am not sure my kids will eat blue corn bread. What is the best for growing and grinding for corn flavor in your opinion. Thank you for your time.

I bought 25lbs. Of Jimmy Red corn from you folks this year. While filling my corn planter hopper yesterday, I noticed the seed contained several white kernels and many dull purple kernels and many broken kernels. Is this typical of Jimmy Red? I've grown heirloom corn varieties for decades, and I've dealt with many suppliers. My best crop ever was last year, I grew 3 acres of Trucker's Favorite White, most stalks were 12' and taller, some were 15', and most of the ears were huge, 22 & 24 rows of kernels per cob, most ears were 12", some were 15". The corn ears were so big that they would feed through my antique sheller.

You can pick the whites out. Jimmy red throws a few whites.

Around 19:35 Greg is commenting on the bottle of cane sugar syrup, he remarks it is Pope Farm pure sugar cane syrup. And at 21:05 Mr Pope made a very important point about corn syrup and it is very hard to find anything without corn syrup in it these days. Mr Pope sounded to me like he is proud of his sugar cane syrup and so I am wondering if Pope Farm has a store? I didn't see any links to their business in the description. I did a google search and found some literature on making the syrup but not a store. Can Greg or Shiela please let me know, thank you.

I don't care if something's genetically modified; the problem is that corporations have homogenized seed which reduces variety.
