I bought some seed from your store late last year... I have plants that are a little more than 10 feet tall in my tiny city yard in St. Louis, MO! Thank you for doing your part to bring the plant back from the dead! Eventually I would love to have an entire field of this if I can keep it isolated.
I grew a 2,000 sq. ft. plot of Jimmy Red this year. I noticed a lot of diversity in regards to ear height on the stalk, cob shape, and kernel arrangement. I selected seed from low positioned, well shaped ears with good kernel arrangement. Others may prefer other types to select. I haven't tried any of it yet. I planted late, July 4th, and harvested in late October here in Upstate South Carolina. It's been shelled but I'm still drying it down some before I grind any. The chickens love it. I requested seed for an old heirloom field corn called Cocke's Prolific from the National Germplasm Repository. That seed stock also produced a lot of diversity. I've been selecting for multiple, quality ears and shorter stalks and beginning to see fewer, tall lanky stalks and slightly higher yields.
Can you do a full series on this corn for 2022? So we know when to pick for fresh eating and then the rest for drying and saving for meal and grits? Thanks!
I would like to hear more about what you plant for wildlife. I’ve been planting food plots for years in NC but I’ve always planted whitetail intstitute seed but next year I plan on going away from the big bag seed and going back to the basics.
Dusty, I plant a broadcast garden every spring. Corn peas beans melons… let grow to a jungle… in fall mow strips in it and plant wheat and clover in strips. I wrote an article called Three Sisters Foodplot in Game Keepers magazine several years ago… that will tell you more.
I was just told of your site by my beiges who bought seed from you and has a wonderful field of your corn this year. We are interested in the garden seeds of beans. Do you sell seeds of vegetables. We are early settlers farmers in Ohio who are now city farmers tho Chris W. Still farms the old farm site and has your corn crop about ready now. Very interested in your crops.
Becky, sorry for late reply. We only sell corn right now. But… keep eye out on upcoming videos …..” the farmers garden’ and ‘ Seven seeds to save your family’. Thanks for your business. Scott
Simmons’s, sorry for late reply. Jimmy matures around 105-115 days. So much depends on Nitrogen , soil moisture and soil type… it’s hard to plan by tassel… I always look at maturity days. I still isolate. I’m planting sweet corn as well, but I’m planting it 1 mile away. You can still plant close if you watch maturity days… but I can’t gamble because we sell our seed. Hope this helps.
I had never heard of this corn until this week a friend of mine gave me a hand full of seed. Where do I find more information about it? When does it need to be planted ? When do you pick it to eat(providing it grows lol) Do you treat it like other corns when you prepare it to eat? Any Information would be appreciated. Thanks
Sorry it took so long to get back, we sell a lot of Jimmy Red, we were one of the first to market to sell it and it’s been very popular. It will grow in most soils... like all corn it needs fertilizer at planting and more when it’s knee tall. Plant all heirloom untreated seed when soil warms . Don’t plant in cold, wet soil. Thanks for the business, Scott
Bless you for looking after the Quail. Jimmy Red is a dent corn high in protein excellent for grinding for corn bread. There are seeds out there available now. Hosstools has them. ( No affiliate.)
We sell a lot of Jimmy Red. Most use it for gardens and distillery... but more folks now find it a great wildlife food plot mix. Yes... Hoss Tools sell is as well. Good folks.
You can get some here. I purchased their seed and grew a beautiful plot of Jimmy Red. www.beyondorganicseed.com/products/jimmy-red-corn?variant=31487610617971¤cy=USD&

Interesting, keep me updated.

Hey Scott! When does Jimmy red tassle? I'm trying to figure out timing to stagger it with some sweet corn and avoid cross pollination.

I am in East Tennessee also. Will it grow here? what kind of soil does it need?

Corn will cross pollinate in a heartbeat. Yeah, you have to isolate it to keep the variety pure. I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks , and you are right about isolation. So much corn today is cross pollinated. Thanks for subscribing we have new stuff on way.
