Trucker's Favorite Corn: Heirloom Seed Sources and Saving

'Trucker's Favorite' corn, cultivated since 1899, is available at both garden centers and heirloom seed dealers—the seed is identical. This open-pollinated variety produces less sweet but prolific ears, ideal for fresh eating and animal feed.

To save seed year after year, plant in blocks isolated by at least 25 feet from other corn varieties. This prevents cross-pollination and maintains the variety's traits. A classic choice for gardeners who value history and self-sufficiency.
