On the left is our line of open pollinated blue corn for milling, next our white line, then yellow, then dark red. All are organic produced, open pollinated varieties that were developed by BlackSheep Enterprises. The line on the right is one of the parents that selections were made from. We do corn breeding/selection different from others. We plant our selections at @ 60,000 (normal would be 25,000), if they stand, produce a hefty ear, and pollinate totally, then they stay in the genetic pool for the future of the line. If not, the goats and sheep love them!We have pound packages available this year call 920-210-6028 for availability for home milling purchases and details.
We will be offering some of the yellow line and white line for cattle silage corn crops for 2011. The white line got to about 14+ feet this year with 1 foot+ ears. The yellow line got 12+ feet tall with slender ears over 1 foot on almost every stalk. The lines, we have been told, that cattle will leave other feed to eat the ears of our lines.
