Lancaster Sure Crop Corn is an heirloom, open-pollinated field corn variety developed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. This variety was bred for early maturity, large ears, high yields and stability in a wide variety of growing conditions. It is also especially drought-tolerant and can be grown in areas where irrigation may be limited.
Lancaster Sure Crop Corn produces extremely tall stalks that can easily get 10-12′ tall. It also produces large ears that are 10-12″ long. Plants have a solid root system to prevent lodging and ensure bountiful harvests. This is a great variety for making corn meal or grits, but can also be used to feed livestock.
