Reid's Yellow (Yellow Dent Field Corn - Heirloom Corn) (Zea mays)
Reid's Yellow (Yellow Dent Field Corn - Heirloom Corn) (Zea mays) is a type of field corn that is known for its high yield and hardiness. It was first developed by Robert Reid, a farmer from Illinois, in the late 1800s. The corn has a bright yellow color and a characteristic "dent" or depression on the top of each kernel. This dent makes the corn easier to grind and process, and is one reason why it has been a popular choice for animal feed and industrial uses.
Reid's Yellow Dent Field Corn is also prized for its versatility and adaptability. It can be grown in a wide range of soil and climate conditions, and has been successfully cultivated in many different regions of the United States and beyond. Reid’s Yellow Dent is an open pollinated variety, and is the most popular field corn in the U.S. due to its high yield and outstanding flavor. Required full sun and stands at height of 10 -14 feet tall.
