2025 Wapsie Valley Yellow and Red Seed Corn

Order Early!  Delivery / shipping starts the 17th of March!!

Our Wapsie Valley open-pollinated yellow and red seed corn has a maturity of 89-95 days and typically grows 8-11 feet tall. Its medium-sized leaves grow on a slightly narrow stalk. Wapsie Valley corn usually has a mix of glossy yellow and shiny red corn kernels. The ears typically have 14-18 rows of kernels that are slightly more flinty than dent-type.

We plant our Wapsie Valley yellow and red corn in 30″ rows at a population of about 26,000 per acre, with plants spaced about 8″ apart. It’s possible to plant at a higher density, with decent standability, if you plan to use it for silage. You may want to consider dropping as low as 18,000 for grain. However, we suggest planting at a similar population density to other varieties you’ve used, while keeping in mind that weed control is easier at a higher population.

Our Wapsie Valley corn yield is highly responsive to fertilizer and usually has a high test weight at maturity. However, if you plan to sell it for grain, we recommend checking with your buyer to ensure they accept corn with red kernels. This corn makes for an attractive ear, making it an ideal choice if you’re looking for a fancy corn to sell.
