Thank you Tracy

You have inspired me to try growing dent corn instead of sweet corn next year. Any one of those varieties you've talked about sound so great. I'll check which might grow best in my area, wet western WA 🙂 I pray God's love and grace shine all around you and your family.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Oh that makes my day! Thank you Sarah! I hope it does well

[@1972BRJ]

Thanks for the information, I have some field corn that old gentleman gave me years ago, I will check to see if it's 8 rows. It looks really close to what you have there. I made corn meat and grits with it years ago and it made some lip smacking good cornbread! There's no one around here anymore that can grind corn now. Hope I can get back into it someday. Thanks Brandon

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Brandon. Good luck and let me know if so can help!

Hey guy! I know you’re busy taking care of family and business. Just wanted to let you know we’re still praying for y’all.

[@rogerbeck5704]

Very interesting facts on Hickory King Corn. Do you ever eat that variety of corn before you let it stay on the stalks to dry out?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Roger. Yes you can when it is in the mill stage. It’s good!

[@homesteadjenz]

Hey Justin do know the variety for seed and hominy corn I can grow in MA? Again I love the channel and your info on the corn!!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Hey Jen! I don’t know what would mature there. I will be on the lookout. Thank you!

[@kristinebeedle657]

[@davidturner1115]

Seen something different in a acre or so corn field to bring in fresh corn for multiple weeks to local market. Hand cut the top of stalk first ear , then middle, then bottom over a month. With small fields planned at different times. For warm states . Even if only have one crop , saves from doing all work at one time. Great Jesus story also.❤

[@cindycrane4475]

Do you ever make hominy out of Hickory King? If so, is there there a video? Enjoying your videos so much. Thank you.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes but no video yet. I will try to soon!

[@vickisavage8929]

You have planted more than one variety of corn, which is wind pollinated. (Billy’s bees😳😂🤣😂🤣🤪) How far apart do you plant the varieties to keep them pure for seed saving? Y’all take whatever time y’all need to take care of what’s important, and the most important thing is FAMILY. We will wait patiently and prayerfully until you get back to us. Many blessings to y’all.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much! I like to keep them a mile apart.

[@SgtSnausages]

Distance isn't the only separation, right? Separating over Time is just as effective. A successful method we use ievery season is when planting multiple varieties, plant them such that they are tassling / pollinating at the different Times. We start with our Roy's Calais /Abanaki (a very early (colder tolerant) short season variety (selected over decades by us for the earliest germinating, earlient maturing (dried and ready to pick at about 85/90 days)). Then wait 2 to 3 weeks and plant the longer, full season Hickory King. The Calais will have fully formed ears (not dry yet, but completely done pollinating) before the first tassle appears on the Hickory King. We plant in plots right next to each other. The only separation being our 10 feet of mowed grass separating plots. Zero cross pollination over the decades.

[@vickisavage8929]

[@connieblasingame7996]

is the Hickory King any good fresh for eating?......I think I can remember my Aunt picking and preparing field corn...Larry at Scoot's Organic Farm

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes it is Larry!

[@rustyschackelford9645]

We've been growing Hickory king for a couple years now and really like the variety. It makes some of the best whole ear ground steer feed we have ever used. Up until now we have been hand picking but are stepping up to a New Idea picker this year. My question is has anyone tried picking Hickory King with an ear corn picker?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Howdy and thank you for sharing. It sure is a real good corn. I pick some with a John Deere picker. Back in 2014.

[@cindycrane4475]

Justin, how do you store your seed corn? Keep it in the freezer? I’m in Central MS and our frost date is early November so I may try a patch of Hickory King in a couple weeks. I want to make hominy. Many of the Choctaw Indians in our area make hominy and fry bread. It’s delicious! Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes in the freezer! Thank you for sharing this

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey Justin, I am having a heck of a time posting on the rug hook video. I wrote a post 4 times and hit comment like always and sap it there like it posted. Later after refreshing it is gone no explanation. Tell me if you can see something or know why. If this stays I may just post it over here!! thank you take care

[@metcalfmills5679]

I don’t know brother? Thank you!

[@sandrahouse9322]

Is this corn you can also you fresh or do you grow it for just dried corn? Where can you find seed? My dad used to mix field an sweet corn. Said it wouldn't be quite as sweet but field corn had more ears.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Sandra. I will have seed soon.

[@lwons1313]

Where would I find seeds/kernals to plant this gorgeous corn Justin?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Right here, how much do you need?

[@lwons1313]

Good morning Justin. Thank you for your response. I will be honest with you, I have never planted corn before. That being said I would need enough for a small family garden. I was studying some articles on what is needed for a small family but that didn't really help with amount needed, at least for me 😊. I would think maybe enough to produce for a family of 4 to 6. Please let me know cost and mailing cost and I will send it to you. Also, have you ever made a smaller family size mill? Just curious 🙂.

[@romanmetcalf4116]

Hey looks like some family went south from New York instead of south west. I’m growing a row of hickory king and peaches and cream this year. With my buckwheat. I’ve got some green beans growing next to it was going to see if I could get them to trellis, but they’re 18-24” tall and putting on tassels can these do anything this year?

[@metcalfmills5679]

Hey! Glad to hear from you. I don’t know why it would be tasseling at that stage…. Thank you for sharing, stay in touch

[@romanmetcalf4116]

@@metcalfmills5679 I put it out about may 18. And I water with a can out a of 55 gallon drum that I have to carry out there with the tractor. So probably a little dry. Gonna try to get a well dug some time, but might settle for a big IBC can and a dripline for this fall
