Big Horse Spotted Corn:
It is the heritage of the Osage people, and Oklahoma’s native corn. It also may be the most complete genome of Zea Maize surviving through history to today. By growing it in an isolated river valley, far away from any other corn, we have been able to preserve this heirloom .. if you want your landrace to have those mutant yellow genes, you will have to add them yourself.

Today, Jason demonstrates the use of the Warren hoe for cultivation, and quickly seeds fifteen rows of corn, with twelve alternating rows of pole beans. Big Horse Spotted Corn is available for sale in our shop, as well!

Oh I see is is that your way of saying let me in you want you want back in okay here we go here we go bill would you like to come in sir yeah okay okay see the Bell works the well hello there good people hi say here in Green Country Agro

Forry it’s early in March and it’s nice and warm and sunny and just about past the risk of frost here in Northeastern Oklahoma Zone 7A and so we’re going to start planting our corn what are we planting well let me show you this is Oklahoma’s native corn big horse spotted

Corn is what it’s called and it comes in all different colors we have white speckled with purple a mixture of purple and white perhaps you’re more in the mood for a more a predominantly dark purple some of these fade towards more blue of course you can go all the way

Dark on purple to the point where you’ve got black yeah isn’t that nice black and shiny of course then we’ve got your Reds and those Reds sort of fake made at the other end to red and speckled just like that so we have all different genes in these and the thing

You’re looking for whenever you’re trying to develop a landra of corn is a lot of genetic diversity so we have all of the well not necessarily all but most of the original corn genome right here in the palm of my hand and we’re going to convert this

Into a packet of seeds that we can send out to you guys and you can also start working on your own specific land race for your area based upon a complex genome like big hor spotted corn let’s get started uh preparing the ground I’m going to show you how we’re going to do

That without a tractor hand tools only it’s not that hard let’s get started on that all right now it’s time for us to start plowing our field here I’ve got a waro that’s this device here and this is the only tool I’m going to use to cultivate when I first started out I

Double dug this area then I moved on to using deep mulch to cover well now it’s fairly easy to work all I need to do is rip the top open with the waren hole like so and that creates a Furrow I move the hoe over get started drag it Forward just like

So there you go rip that fur like that and now there there’s one two there’s one two 3 4 five if I if I go alternate rows and do five rows of corn here and in just a short amount of time hi duckies in just a short amount of time we have

Okay where we at can you see me all right wow that black was magnificent wasn’t it because I have an ample supply of seeds I can get away with sewing way way too many per row and then thinning them out to the strongest plants and hey guess what I have plenty

Of seed left over if you’d like big horse spotted corn seeds shop for it to Green Country Agra forest.com or check the link below these are a Cherokee Trail of tear black beans they’re a pole bean and they can be eaten as a green bean or they can

Be dried and shelled and eaten as a as a black bean like in your chili stew Etc nice stuff and of course they make a great companion for corn see as we planted the corn in alternate Rose find some beans all right good people as the sun’s

Going down on us here in North Eastern Oklahoma we’re turning the sprinklers on having got all of our seeds planted for the day we’re going to let everything get soaked in good today and Rotator sprinklers all the way across from back there and we’ll work around up here to

The Corn Patch also before we’re all done that’s all I got for youday good people if you found the video informative or entertaining you know what to do I will catch you later till then get out there get growing He
