Not with the average city folk that dont even know about corn
Shawn I was totally entranced by this video. Heirloom corn is so much more than I could ever imagine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I liked the part about the corn.
Love Native American History. Choctaw Native here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Im part Choctaw 🙌 love my people ✊️
That black corn is beautiful. I would love to get ahold of the glass gem and Navajo corn. I also want the red and blue corns. They're all beautiful and it's wonderful to see someone so fascinated by pure corn.
Hopefully I get a few cobs this year from my big garden.

I work for the Missouri Botanical Garden where we have the Anderson-Cutler Maize Collection, previously loaned out to USDA and housed now in our herbarium. Its composed of many thousands of ears, seed samples, and other plant parts representing almost every variety of the New World. Lamentably it is not likely that the seeds could be propagated. They were not stored properly over the decades. Maybe germplasm could be conserved but at best it is a showcase of the enormous variety to be had. I am one of the curatorial assistants to the collection. I've been acquiring and entering data into our database on thousands of South American samples. Such mundane tasks however mean that I get to read thru scientific journal articles, personal letters of collectors, learn about agricultural offices in history, etc. Corn--because of all the crossing and back crossing, the sharing of seed over millenia--really is a vast story book of human history. You follow the evolution of corn and you follow human agriculture, travel, culture, etc etc. Its endlessly fascinating.
I find Native American history so interesting. I have some Mayan ancestry and I love learning about them. This is why I love your channel.
Corn is simply amazing

That eagle corn in something else, awesome that your helping to bring it back.
corn is definitely an favorite not only as an food but because of its extremely diverse culture
Thx Shawn!, I love learning gardening info, but the history lesson is amazing! Also, thanks for educating us which breeds are easiest to grow.
Awesome video and God Bless you for growing the Eagle Corn!!! Beautiful, blessed
I've been looking for this sort of video forever! I love anything to do with pre-Colonial Native American culture. Ever since I read the book 1491, I've been looking into all the rare varieties of corn since the book went into good detail of corn and the immense nutrition.
I'm so glad you still practice the way. Please please keep sharing
Absolutely loved the content of this video. Your coverage of the different types and varieties of heirloom corn and their history was fascinating and very informative. I'd never before contemplated the inherent beauty of corn. I also greatly admire that you're wanting to help preserve at least one of these beautiful varieties, with which I wish you the best.
The Carolina Biological Supplies company used to sell Pod Corn seeds. They stopped selling them sometime during the 1980's, but they still sell Albino Corn seeds.
Keep them coming. I am learning so much. Thank you and peace be with you.
More garden videos YAY!
Great video, I pray you keep expanding upon these great subjects in future!
Looks like my Mom's thanksgiving bouquet. Thanks for keeping these rare strains alive.
That gemstone corn makes me want to start my own garden. Great video!
You do awesome and informative video's- whether they are your glass arrowheads or the mouse traps and now food. Fantastic.!
Amazing stuff, man. Love your videos, very educational. I live in Australia and it fascinates me that there is such variety of corn.
Good job on keeping types of rare corn growing.
Absolutely fascinating! I had no idea corn was this varied and beautiful. It is totally an archaic crop!
Amazing video! I love rare food crops! I plan on growing some heirloom squashes and pumpkins when I get a garden. Love your garden series, keep it up!
Last fall we bought some ornamental corn. You inspired me so i took the multi-color one and the dark red one and soaked the seeds in water for three days, then planted them ladt week. I have two patches of corn now lol.
I learnt something today. Thanks Shawn. Fascinating
Just came across your heirloom and rare seed videos and they are awesome. I’d love to see and hear more.
This is simply amazing. Maybe one day I’d be able to help preserve this rare species of corn.
Beautiful and educational heritage corn video. Thanks.
Please do another basic survival shelter video. The last one was so good.
Outstanding collection.
Thanks for helping preserve genetic diversity! Great video!
Hi Shawn. Im from Spain and Corn isn, t a thing here. I tried to plant some red dent but my grandpas told me dad these kind of corn is only for cattle and chikens. A video about tipes of corn and how to cook those will be incredible for me. Thanksss!!
I’m in my early 20’s but I wish I could live like you Shawn..growing some of your own food and having fun with it, hunting your own meat, you’re own farm.
So Cool! Thanks for What you Do!
That was an incredible video. I.really enjoyed it. Thanks
This is so great! It's amazing how you're preserving these! Would be cool to see how they actually taste :)
Fantastic, thanks for all the great info!
Shawn, you are one cool dude, thank you for all you do, and keep those videos coming. I wish we were neighbors....
Very cool Shawn!
Very interesting. I honestly loved the video. Keep up the awesome videos.
awesome. I'm glad your mouse trap vids are a big hit. But these native/survival videos are why I subscribed, good to see you making them still!
Shawn, I loved this. I used to play in corn fields as kid in western NY. Later at Cornell I worked on test plot transgenic BT (root worm specific). Plus WNY the influence of Seneca nation was very strong and people always grew varieties like this and hung them on door in the fall. BTW, have you experimented with some of the basic mendelian genetics principles. You may have some real fun with that doing some back crosses or see kinds alleles are hidden in the plants.
why isn't tiny corn which you can pop on the cob a thing, that's cool, people would go nuts for that surely?

Element45 at many apple orchards I've been to up here in nh you can usually find a popable corncob at their farm stands.
I'm now interested in the Chipotle corn 🙌 amazing information 👌
Good on you! I too am growing old varieties of seeds this year. All Baker Creek seeds. My aim is to develop strains that grow well in micro clime. Like our ancestors practiced. Every farmer/gardener saved seeds and looked to improve their harvest. I'm just following their lead.
This is so interesting! I would love to see more video's about these kinds of topics or the corn itself.
Great presentation.
I love baker creek! So glad I found them
Really enjoy the history behind the vast varieties of corn outside of the normal yellow corn on a cob
Very interesting. Great video.
Such an inspiration!!!!
I may have to find some of that Tom Thumb corn, my niece and nephew would love it!
Shawn I really been enjoying these garden videos, but the Heirloom growing is the best, loved this video of our ancient & native corns, though I have to wonder? the pod corn @4:10 was that where the wipe with the corncob originated from? lol Wado Danitaga for these vids & your efforts to keep ancient native strains growing
Fantastic, thanks for the great info.
Great inf0 I grow to take to market, u have great variety, eagle corn cool as hell, glad u got some kernels so u could share w us, thanks
This is why I subscribed.
Those Tom Thumb cobs are adorable!
Thank you for protecting the seeds
Outstanding.
passionate people make me happy
another great video shawn
wow that eagle corn is amazing!
This is so cool!
Woah, that pawnee eagle corn is really cool
Very colorful.
Awesome video! Would love to grow these
Thx for sharing!
those different types of corn just blew my mind
I am a corn farmer too.. Corn is also a staple food in our country 😊😊
awesome! some beautiful ears of corn, even if some didn't grow too well.
Awesome!
Love the Barn Swallow soundtrack!
Thank you
this was actually pretty damn cool. gg Shawn
Much respect!!!
The Pawnee Eagle Corn caught my attention.. Big Time lol
Great Job :D
that so neat man thanks for the lesson
hi Shawn i would love to to get some of the Eagle corn seeds to try and grow some of them great video i really like the history of food we need to keep the rare and ancient seeds going
You're the Man.
You really deserve the like👍🏼
thank you
Hey thank you for your gardening videos. I'm curious - what was your water/irrigation/rain situation like when you grrw these corns? I picked up some Hopi corn flour types and from what I've heard they were grown in dry farming...so I'm wondering what to plan for. I do have drip irrigation, and I live in a weird microcolimate of the Bay Area.....any suggestions or insight? Thank you!
Awesome video! What would you say is the most low maintenance heirloom variety for the PNW dry summers? Also how much can you grow different varieties of corn together without them crossbreeding?
All you say is very interesting! How would these seeds, beans, corn etc cope with the growing seasons in England? My favourites are beans, squashes and tomatoes. Thanks for the video
beautiful and informative video wish i could get some of these seeds Trinidad only has one type of corn
Hello Shawn. This was such a wonderful video! Do you have any more of the Pawnee eagle corn?
good job
great job turning 10 seeds into 300, hopefully they will turn into 10 000!

He turned 10 seeds into 300 plants. He has way more seeds than that.
Cool corn! I didn't know there's other corn type.
That eagle corn looks dang good and 300 plants????? Cnt wait to see those!!
Great stuff! How do you keep your varieties pure? Doesn't corn need to be isolated by a large distance, or some kind of pollen barrier used? Thanks for what you show us.
where did you get the hopi blue corn? how many days fors it take?
I'm jealous of your cool corn
Last season I grew Anasazi (for the third year), Blue Hopi, Black Navajo and Inca Rainbow (all new to me).
