this is a great dent corn. it's good for flour and if you want to feed your chickens with it they'll be pretty happy i imagine, although to my thinking it's a pretty expensive meal for them. the taste of the flour is a little bit sweet. it grew well without lodging. i would recommend this variety if you're looking for a good flour corn and i would further recommend that you buy your seed from Mary. She honest, fair and you'll be supporting a small business. i know i will be buying from her in the future.
