This is the Boone's County White corn I grew this year. It grew my personal best size of 16'6". I would love to grow a whole field of this type. People would think that I am growing some new genetically modified type, or that I am giving it hormones! The height has been bred out of all the modern corns, to make the stands more uniform and wind resistant. The stalks on these tall types are like wood! They resist our wind pretty well here. Not sure how well they would do in North Dakota though.
I grew pole lima beans on the stalks and they produced a heavy late crop in October. Maybe the beans had something to do with my success?
