Yellow Dent Corn 50#

What makes Reid's Yellow Dent particularly valuable is its resilience in the field, with a high tolerance for drought and disease. This heirloom variety is open-pollinated, making it an excellent choice for sustainable farming and seed-saving. The color is deep yellow, with a lighter cap, but a reddish tinge often appears. The cobs tend to be small and dark red. Ears are 9 to 10 inches long and 7 to 8 inches around with plants growing to 10 to 14 feet tall. Ear tapers slightly, with 16 to 22 closely spaced rows. Kernels are very deep and narrow to medium in width, slightly keystone in shape, with a square crown. Slightly rough, with kernels dented on top. Stalks are tall and leafy and make very good silage.
