Just a general view of the corn. I planted around 500 plants, which is more than sufficient to prevent inbreeding depression. The general rule of thumb is to plant a minimum of 200 plants and save from a minimum of 100 with corn. I also include seed from years past, and when I see some new packet of some form of heirloom corn in a nursery, I snag it and introduce it into the population with the intent of maintaining genetic diversity, potentially adding new beneficial traits to the population, and also for having fun with new colors.
