Silvermine Corn Seeds

Ernest W. Young of Lawrence, Kansas was a well known breeder of Silvermine around 1900. His 1904 test produced 38-68 bushels an acre. He improved this in 1905 with 42-73 bushels an acre. Even in 1906 when Kansas experienced a severe drought and many other corns failed, Silvermine corn still produced 50 bushels per acre.

There are many uses for dent corns like: Hominy, masa harina (what tamales or chips are made out of), Posole, Corn Bread, Corn Muffins, Hush Puppies, Corn Fritters, Grits, and Corn Soup just to name a few!
