Krug is an improved strain of Reid, developed by George Krug, of Woodford County in central Illinois. This quiet farmer, combined a Nebraska strain of Reid corn with Iowa Gold Mine to make a high yielding yellow corn.

Also know as Wisconsin No. 7. The leading white-dent variety in the Northern part of the Corn Belt. Originate by A.J.Goddard of Ft. Atkinson, Iowa, who brought a bushel from Indiana to Fayette County, Iowa in 1862. Foundation stock was produced by the Wisconsin Experimental Station in 1904. Wide creamy white kernels, with medium depth and thickness. Cobs are white. Ears slowly taper from butt to tip, with slightly wavy rows. Slightly rough. Seed is untreated. 100 to 110 days.

• 100 day
• 7-8′ tall
• Bright orange
• High in carotene, good for grits
• More slender ear
• Medium standability

One of the most popular open-pollinated yellow variety grown in the country. Especially well suited for the Corn Belt. Originated by Robert Reid of Illinois in 1847 and improved by his son, James L. Reid, from 1870 to 1900. Color is deep yellow, with a lighter cap, but a reddish tinge often appears. The cobs tend to be small and dark red. Ears are 9 to 10 in. long and 7 to 8 in. around. Ear tapers slightly, with 16 to 22 closely spaced rows. Kernels are very deep and narrow to medium in width, slightly keystone in shape, with a square crown. Slightly rough, with kernels dented on top. Stalks are tall and leafy and make very good silage. Adapted to virtually every state. Seed is untreated. Matures in 100-110 days.

A synthetic is a composite of a number of inbred lines that you can save seed from. Work on this synthetic population began in 2003. Its parents were older inbreds that formed strong hybrids and its adaptation is the northern part of the Corn Belt. Has Ga1s trait.

This synthetic population began as some preliminary crosses among commercial and university corn belt dent inbred lines in 2003. This was crossed with the Ga1s carriers from Missouri as part of this project. It is likely adapted to the central Corn Belt.

Ga1s are naturally occurring traits in corn that will greatly reduce outcrossing with plants that don’t carry the same trait . This trait is called gametophytic incompatibility. This trait helps prevent accepting unwanted pollen from transgenic and other field corn. This is how much of the popcorn stays pure. Revolt and Rebellion are varieties with the Ga1s trait. They were developed by Dr Frank Kutka and the Seed We Need Project with support from by a grant from the Organic Farming Research Foundation. We appreciate Frank’s fascinating work.

• Dented red kernels mixed with deep burgundy
• Girthy 8-10″ ear
• Sometimes two ears per plant
• 12-13′ tall
• Low standability
• Quite drought tolerant
• Sought after by distillers for flavor

Bloody Butcher is an old heirloom variety dating back to mid 1800s. It is a beautiful multi-purpose corn. Bloody Butcher is great for corn meal flour, beautiful for decorating, and very popular with distillers.

• 8-10′ tall plants
• Bright, yello, long, narrow 14 kernel row ears
• Quite uniform ear placement
• High percentage of double ear plants

Open pollinated corn icon Ned Place’s signature variety, Green Field was the name of Ned’s farm in OH. Ned had developed this out of Reid yellow dent. Reported yields 190 bu/a in the boot heal area of MO.

• Attractive dark blue ears
• Few white kernels now and then
• 14 dented kernels rows to form nice girthy ears
• 10′ tall
• Stands well and quite uniform for a full season OP

Does well when dry

• Towering 10 -12′ tall plants
• Long 10 – 12″ narrow ears
• High ear placement

The combination of big long ears placed high in the air causes stand ability to be lower than our other varieties.

Primarily grown as a silo corn and simply pleasure. Stalks grow extremely tall and is a lot of fun to show off to neighbors.

History: Originated in Lancaster, PA around the turn of the century.

• 6′ tall plants 7″ long ears with 8 kernel rows
• Great old-fashioned corn flavor Sweet for an OP
• Pick promptly when ready, eat promptly after picking. Delicious!

Introduced to the corn market by W. Atlee Burpee in 1902, Golden Bantam Corn has a fantastic flavor that is great for home freezing or eating fresh.

• 7′ tall plants 8″ long ears with 12 kernel rows
• Improved to stay tender longer, have longer ears and more evenly spaced broad kernels. Still pick promptly when ready, eat promptly after picking. Delicious!

Everet B. Clark of Milford, CT selected for the 12 kernel rows from the original 8 row W. Atlee Burpees’ Golden Bantam.

• 78 days to roasting
• Yellow sweet corn
• SH2 and, of course, open pollinated
• Crisp and sweet
• Longer harvest window
• Slower conversion to starch after harvest
• Can save seed from

Green Haven obtained our first Super Sweet SH2 seed from Restoration Seeds of Oregon in 2016. Super Sweet SH2 corn was originally bred by Kultursaat in Germany. Kultursaat is a non-profit plant breeding organization that contributes to the further development of agrobiodiversity in order to promote biological diversity in the fields, on the shelves and on the plates. Kultursaat started the project in 2003 and Super Sweet SH2 was the result of a crossing of 40 SH2 hybrids. It is the only open pollinated SH2 variety that we know about from which you can save seed.

• Heavy large, plump kernel size
• Great for milling and distilling characteristics
• Good winter hardiness and standability
• Tolerates infertile, sandy, and acidic soils

Planting Guide

• Seeding Rate (Alone/Acre): 55 – 100#/acre, 1.5 – 2.5#/1000 sq ft.
• Seeding Depth(Inches): 1/2 – 2″

• Avena nuda
• No hulls to remove. Most oats have a clinging hull that requires expensive milling equipment to use them for human consumption. Hulless oats do not. In fact, hulless oats, like wheat, shed the hulls easily during the normal threshing process.
• Higher digestibility and protein for feed than common oats with a hull
• Hulless oats create an opportunity to feed a local community with good healthy whole grain high protein food without a big investment in expensive processing equipment.
• Medium straw
• Resistant to crown rust
• Plant in early spring at 100 – 150#/acre, 2.5 – 3#/1000 sq ft.
• For cooking: soak in water. What little hull remains will float. Cook for oatmeal or grind for oat flour.

• Einkorn is the original and most ancient wheat.
• Diploid meaning it has two sets of chromosomes.Modern wheat is a hexaploid containing six.
• Einkorn does not have the D chromosome, which seems to be connected with wheat intolerance in many humans with modern day wheat.
• Einkornis one of the oldest cultivated cereal crops in the world. It contains only 14 chromosomes as opposed to 42 in modern wheat.
• Has a hull
• More nutritious than modern wheat
• Planting rate 40 to 65 pounds per acre

Red Clover is grown throughout the Northeastern states and eastern Canada for forage (hay, silage, pasture) as well as in rotation for soil improvement.

• Great for hay, green manure or wildlife plots.
• Fixes nitrogen
• Regrows vigorously
• Red clover will tolerate slightly acid soils but grows best when the soil pH is above 6.0.

Planting rates

• Alone: 10-20 pounds per acre
• In a mix 3-6 pounds per acre

A perennial cool-season grass, tall, fi ne-stemmed and leafy, Climax timothy has been the standard for hay for years.

Planting rates

• Alone: 8-10 pounds per acre
• In a mix: 2-6 pounds per acre

Rouge vifd’Etampes

This Beautiful variety is a French heirloom. Most fruits develop a vivid red hue that is uncommon among any other variety.

Their deep orange flesh makes great pies and quick breads once strained and blended. They are also used commonly as a soup tureen.
