How to Select and Store Seed Corn at Home
The ideal seed corn comes from one's own farm starting with a good variety. Select ears in the field soon after maturity, choosing short, strong stalks with uniform kernels and cylindrical ears. Store ears in a dry, ventilated place and dry naturally without artificial heat, guarding against frost and dampness to prevent mold or fermentation.
Seed corn selection tips from J O Rankin University Farm
Seed corn guidance from J O Rankin at University Farm St Paul Minnesota warns against choosing ears by bare tips or long or short ears. He cautions on moisture from freezing weather and the need to consider shelling percentage and avoid ears from barren stalks while planning for next year’s yield.
