The corns from these three tribes have been my primary emphasis as I have found them to be the best adapted to handling whatever weather and climate extremes have been thrown at us. The longer season ones still dry down around 90 days, and the shorter season ones are definitely shorter. Oscar Will worked and lived with these tribes for a time and collected quite a few. There is also quite a bit of writing and cataloging he did including photos, which although are black and white, still give a fairly good reference on types.

Wish I had the time. This year I have to work on bulk of production from what I have. That means larger grows of fewer varieties that have done really well in the past.
What I have (I think) settled on is the M/H/A White flour, Iroquois White Flour, Wamneheza Flour, Mandan Rainbow Flint, Grunt's Autumn Delight Popcorn, my selection of VK 2175 and a sweet corn for fresh eating, though that will be just a hybrid at the Ness farm for the families to share. I am sure I will fit in a few more.
