I'm growing heirloom corn for many years already, bloody bucher, ohio blue clarage, hopi blue, earthtones to name the main varieties. One trick has massively improved germination rate and even emergence, that is sterilizing the seed by submersion in 50% diluted household bleach (NaOCl) for 15-20 minutes. in fact I use the protocol for all seeds that aren't too small. sterilization time may vary a bit, depending on the toughness of the seed.
Hey Al , I like the aftermarket hopper. I still have the original but its hard to adjust from age. The new hopper works well. The only problem is the small bolts that hold the base of the plastic hopper on tend to get loose. Im going on 4th year with it and it works great.
You haven't lived until you've seen life from the seat of a Farmall 140!
I agree Mark!!
Liked your videos.
Keep the videos coming. Do you have a video of planting corn?

How do you like the aftermarket fertilizer hopper? I have debated on buying one but I wasn't sure about the quality.
