Boys raise an acre of Rhode Island Whitecap Flint corn
Craig Wilson and George Popovici of Boy Scout Troop 2 tackled an Eagle Scout project at Poppasquash Point to grow RI Whitecap Flint corn. Seed from Prescott Farm and a loaned half acre faced weather and weeds but the crop finally grew. Corn will be ground into jonnycakes, reviving a historic RI staple and illustrating the lost farming craft.
