Reid's Yellow Dent Corn is one of the most popular open-pollinated corns grown in the country, with excellent dual-purpose use as silage or grain corn. Developed by Robert Reid in 1847 when he crossed a yellow dent variety with a Native American flint variety, it was later improved by his son James Reid in the 1870s. Ears are deep yellow with slight red tinge, with deeply set narrow kernels, and 9 inches long with 16-22 tight kernel rows on 10-foot tall hearty plants. This trusty variety is widely adaptable to many climates and makes very good grazing corn and silage. Reid's Yellow Dent is highly nutritious and attractive to attract horses, chickens, turkey, deer, songbirds, squirrels, rabbits, and even black bears. Stockpiles well in towers and bunkers for winter stockpiling. Can be planted throughout the summer.
