People jump on whatever new bandwagon comes around. I grew up on a farm and we grew our hay and corn, no gmo stuff. And our animals were healthy and productive

My Dad used to raise that hickey king corn , he would cut it off the cone and have fried cream corn it was delicious.

Glad to see others growing HIckory King. I've been growing it for over 10yrs and it never disappoints. We dry most of it to make nixtamal for tortillias, tamales, and corn churros. Its a great roasting corn too if picked at the right time. Its not as sweet as some of the "sweet corns", but does have a touch of sweetness with a good corn flavor - sort of like eating fresh corn nuts. The trick is to harvest it near the end of the milk stage when the kernals are very juicy and before they start converting all the sugars to starch which makes the kernals tough. We'll process (blanch, vacuum pack and freeze) about 3 bushels of fresh corn on the cob. From frozen: 30 to 40 min in boiling water and we can enjoy Hickory King until next years harvest. My fav toppings: Lime juice, sour cream, salt and chili paste.

We raised hickory king and stock could eat it better than this hard corn they raise nowadays

I am so glad to hear you stay away from the gmo roundup corn. Apart from being a scam, with saving seeds, non gmo has got to be healthy.

In the 30's and 40's around here my dad told me that they raised corn from the bottom of the hollow to the top of the hill. Which around here that would have been several hundred feet wide. But like you said that was their way of life self-reliance. If you did not grow it or make it, you did not have it.

Corn is beautiful okra eats me up 🐖🐑🐄🥓🍗🌭🍔🤹🏻‍♀️🎡🎢🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡🎡

It’s the way God made it God Bless everyone

Just seeing this video! Love y’all! Would love some fresh ground cornmeal. 😜

Seems like I remember the farmers around home when I was a kid planted Funks G69 was some good field corn. I also remember the old timers talking about Gianna Fertilizer made from bat droppings. They said that was the best fertilizer you could get back in the 50 and 60 and 70s. I was born in June the 2 1967 and I have seen a lot of change and not all for the good. This roundup ready corn is just not natural. GMO crops I feel is why People get eat up with cancer. People lived to old age when I was younger. Glad to see you keeping the old ways alive.

Very informative video! I love watching you all ❤

My family, from grandparents to me, I’m 75, have been growing field corn for human consumption. Currently growing Truckers Favorite white corn. We pick and process the corn when it is in the milk phase. Shuck it, remove the silks and wash it. We then grate the kernels on the cob being careful to catch any milk. The lightly grated cobs are then scraped rather forcefully to remove kernel solids as well as the

❤Beautiful corn 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽❤🙂

We grow Hickory King corn. I made hominy out of it. I planted our corn April 2 here in Southern Indiana ours grew 12 to 14 ft tall.

The bird’s got all my sunflowers so I feel you God Bless

Appreciate you Folks sharing your heirloom corn experience with us,now that I've retired from a public job,being self efficient is more important than ever.

Hi from Ontario Canada

Keep singing Maggie. You sound so pretty.

I know ill get flack or be labeled something but here we go:

Corn is one of the high calorie foods , much easier to process than wheat , a higher yield than wheat , buckwheat isn’t really wheat but grows very fast and is another high calorie food . Calories are needed as much as the nutrient rich greens / fruits / nuts , kinda a balance of the two in the diet rewards you with a healthy life , cheers , a pretty good haul it looks like to me .
