Some open pollinated varieties make excellent corn meal. Good project to grow some your self. If you are going to use it yourself it does not take much area, a couple or three rows 100 feet long will be enough unless you have a large family. I think the group is called Seed Savers Exchange in Northeast IA that has a lot of heirloom seeds. I got some green corn, forget the name, from them which makes tasty meal. I also got Bloody Butcher corn there which is a red grained corn which is also good. Another good old variety is Hastings Prolific which used to come in white or yellow seed. The old time bootleggers said the white hastings made the best booze. I have had for many years a hand grinder. The procedure is to grind the corn, sift out the bigger pieces and the husks, then tighten the grinder and regrind the finer pieces, which is the majority of the corn. We use the larger pieces for grits, first floating the husks off. I pick the corn by hand and shell it with an old hand sheller. I have another variety called pencil cob corn which is easy to shell by hand. I've crossed it with yellow Hastings and it makes nice yellow corn meal. Some people will get a mill, power it with a hit and miss engine, mount the outfit on a trailer and go to fairs, etc, run the mill, bag it in small bags, and sell it at the fair.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
