Corn Seeds - Boone County White

Zea mays

It is a very heavy producer of huge ears that measure 9-11" in length. The uniform ears have 18-22 rows. Heavily leaved, which is great for shading out understory weeds. A great deal of information has been lost about the performance of some of these old varieties. Fortunately, some old historical information exists that really helps us today.

The 1936 USDA Yearbook of Agriculture recommended Boone County White for the following states IL, KY, MD, MO, NE, VA, and WV. This is not to say Boone County White will only perform in these states, but it does let us know the USDA was impressed with yields in these states in 1936.
