I'm a farmer now

To start with? This size tractor:

Interesting variety, but how does it taste? Most other corn that I have seen that has similar color patterns has been hard or feed corn. For eating I'll stick with silver queen.
 
that's extremely cool.
Anyway colored corn generally is hard and no good for eating, is it different for that one?
 
next year im going to plant some corn, except maybe use it more as a liner to a path and visible concealervs just straight up rows of corn. knee high by july!
 
time to make gem-colored tortillas

The hard part is sorting the kernels by color... someone should invent a machine (and then find out they can't patent it because this post is prior art)
 
First harvest!

They're kind of runty but not bad for dry land popcorn. I couldn't believe the corn worms found our corn patch, twenty miles from the nearest large corn field. There are another fifteen ears or so left on the stalk we're leaving to dry for a few more days.
 
Those are very cool looking. Wonder how they taste.

Planted in late October? Seems odd, how long until harvest?
