2024 Wapsie Valley Seed Corn ****UNTREATED***** Special
*Discount Special!!!****
****Untreated*** Special Size 60,000 seeds / bag
Our Wapsie Valley open-pollinated 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 kernels. The ears typically have 14-18 rows of kernels that are slightly more flinty than dent-type.
We plant our Wapsie Valley 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. However, we suggest planting at a similar population density to other successful varieties you’ve used, while keeping in mind that weed control is easier at a higher population.
Our Wapsie Valley corn 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.
