Just about done picking corn.You right not a great yield But I believe dry weather had a lot to do with it. Planting only purple seed turned out maybe 60% purple corn. I don't know if we will do it again. The local grain buyer won't buy it so will have to use it ourselves and bag and sell to other hunters. Still plan to have some ground and try some purple grits. I will post pictures of that.

Thanks for following up I didnt get mine planted this year but do have some that volunteered on last year's patch.

Where will you get it ground? I would like to do that sometime too, I think it would make interesting cornbread.
 
Just a fyi, I have a mill, and grind multicolored flour corn. It tastes great, but is an unappetising gray/brown. You have to put some whole corn on the cob nearby if you expect anyone else to eat it. Everyone expects cornbread to be yellow around here (it varies with location). They probably just aren"t hungry enough though.

I'm assuming its open pollinated corn if so you need to market it a little.I get 50 cents/lb for my open pollinated non GM colored corn while the 'Big Boys' are getting $4 bushel.
 
I was thinking of the same thing. Is your mill a hand crank that mounts with a clamp on the counter? Will this work for making meal?
 
ive seen a bunch of indian corn but never tried to eat some, how do you eat it? do you have to grind it into meal or can you cook it or roast it like yellow corn, what does it taste like compared to regular corn [ just so nobody says it tastes like chicken lol]
