Several excellent Non-Glyphosate tolerant sweet corn varieties exist for 12.00-20.00/lb. Bodacious, Serendipity, Honey Select do well here on the Great Plains Corn Belt and are registered for many pre-emerge corn herbicides (Prowl, Dual II, Challenger, etc.) and many post emerge ones (2,4-D, Charger Max, Impact, Permit, etc. even Treflan/Preen if watered in,,, Check the labels) so the xtra $ for the convenience of RR varieties should really be thought over. RR varieties here are about 260.00/2 lbs minimum purchase... my take

I was surprised their new better corn was 2x higher than gotta have it, only way to buy their overpriced stuff is to use the 50% off coupons, You can't find corn as good as theirs Kernels are still crispy after one or two years in the freezer

Very difficult to beat Bodacious.

Maybe a bit off topic but will seed corn be good for planting this year that I bought last year? I have Gotta Have It and Northern Sweet from Gurney's that I bought and used last year. Still have about half of the package left. Am I risking it by planting last year's corn, this year? It's been stored in a closet in my house. Remember your training from grade school grasshopper..... Wet a paper towel, fold it in quarters. Put 10 seeds on it and slip it into a ziploc bag. In 7-10 days you will have your answer.

I'm sorry but if I am growing and eating it I don't want it resistant to anything ! Hierloom all the way. This GMO stuff is out of hand. Most will never realize or admit it that thier health issues stem from this stuff. On topic kind of ironic you have to pay more to harm your health. X2 I could not agree more with you. Thank you for sticking up for the tried and true corn seed.

[quote=atrapper]Thanks RKG and Golf ball. I have planned on using it in this year's garden but have also heard horror stories of corn being planted and not coming up or coming up spotty with old seed being the likely culprit. I figured there's a whole lot more knowledge on this site concerning seed germination than I'll ever know.[/quote
Could be could also be planting to deep in cold wet ground to shallow in dry soil 1 1/2 -2 in is good slightly pacing the soil for good seed/soil contact
