Last year I planted some ruby red sugar enhanced sweet corn seed that I saved from the year before (thought it was ornamental at the time and didn't notice until it had dented). It grew well and produced well, actually one of my customers' favorites.

I called it krazy korn....kids liked it. Sold a lot of it! Every stalk had one or two ears on it. Ears were bigger around and shorter than the parent ears were, tho.

I think the reason why people think hybrids are sterile is that they pollinate much better in groups, and volunteer corn is usually scattered around so there isn't much chance of good polination.
