Abstract

Based on requests from organic producers in Iowa for information on yields and grain quality of open-pollinated corn, a variety trial was developed at the Neely-Kinyon Farm in 2000 and 2001. Open-pollinated (O-P) corn often is preferred by organic farmers, and several O-P corn breeders are operating in Iowa and the Midwest to meet this demand.
