This guy is passionate and I love corn!
Look at his hands! I love the contrast between the polished sheen of the corn and the weathered landscape of his fingers. The partnership between man and plant can clearly be seen in every crease and kernel, and it's only woven tighter by the knowledge portrayed. All in all, this video is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)
is there a website that shows the nutritional of different breeds of corn
Wonderful tutorial on what is absolutely my favorite "grain!"
(I'll take mine sweet and hot and running with salted butter, thanks!) Where I grew up in New England, sweet corn would always make it's first appearance just a week or so before my birthday - end of July - making a special gift.
@witchapparatus thank you! couldn't agree with you more - this is a fellow who loves the earth and what one can grow from it. We all need more people like Anthony!
Anyone know where he got those packets of seed?
Thank you for the knowledge.
I go both Roy's Calais Flint and Bear Paw popcorn which is another VT developed variety. They both do very well in our VT short season and are exceptional each in their own way. The popcorn is small kernelled and very tender. Even the "old maids" are consumable and don't cause broken teeth unlike some of the super corns that everyone thinks are great because of their size. Bigger isn't always better.
Clyde Jenne do you think they might do well in NH?
How can I get some of the bear paw for dead, to grow in north eastern Maine
Thanks.
For seed
How can I get the three corn in the video ,that you say is for planting.
1:28 I think it's the old "nothstine dent" variety. Only corn insiders can guess that. 😉
corn is king for me. you can feed to the animals, the kernals, cob and stalk. you can make fuel for combustion engines. There is a heater that burns corn. oh and you can eat it and make corn whiskey from it. dont forget the broomes. did I forget something?
I don't know of one, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Anthony (in the video) just published a book all about corn, called "Beautiful Corn". It may (or may not) have answers to what you are seeking.
@monicatovar thanks - me too! =)
I love all the different varieties of corn, I'm trying to get a lot of them in my seed collection! I live in Ohio... Are yours Heirlooms?
@MzProgressive I wonder if Anthony could help with this problem ... how can I discern "sugar enhanced" SE varieties from those gawd Awful Super Sweet varieties! I shop farmers markets all summer and there is only ONE farmer that brings genuine "corn tasting" sweet corn to market any more! All the rest is this over sized and (and often irregular placed) kernals that are SO SUGARY they should be banished back to Florida. Can Anthony recommend "heirloom" varieties for the home gardener? Thanx
Would you make video how to make corn fry bread?
fabulous
0:57. tomatoes are a fruit.
Can you use flint corn for feed?
+ONEMANGARDEN 1971 Others have.
My son grew 1/4 million bushels of corn in West Texas mostly by himself in 2016. Our area has probably the highest production of animals on feed in the World. Most of the corn grown here is of high density (high bu weight) because it is hard like flint types. Large amounts of corn are brought in here by unit trains from Midwest. The feeders buy our corn first because it makes high quality rations.

Eh.. That's not sustainable. Check out Gabe Brown or Ray Artuleta. Genius work up there.
fix my posture
ouch! ...cut to old B&W footage of a "Puritan" harvesting corn as narrator discusses how corn "evolved" as if natural selection and white men were the driving forces. lol, if only it were funny. i find it offensive that the narrator doesn't manage even a mention, or a nod to the indigenous civilizations that cultivated and bred the most important crop in the world ; corn. civilizations that were arguably the most sophisticated farmers the the planet has ever known. but to imply that credit is due to the usurpers and colonizers who killed them, and stole their farms is beyond the pale.
tiresome virtue signalling while the world decays
