My favorite has always been "Truckers Favorite", a field corn that comes
in yellow or white, I prefer the yellow.

First ate in the late forties when my Dad grew it to feed the stock. We
would harvest "roasting" ears when the corn first hit the "milk" stage.
After it dried in the field it went into the corn crib and the critters
ate it all winter. Really good stuff and not so sweet it would make your
teeth hurt either.
