Description

Lancaster Surecrop (Lancaster Sure Crop)
110 days — Dating back to the early 1900s, Isaac Hershey, and later Isaac's son Noah, developed this historic dent variety over a period of years in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They crossed many varieties selecting for early maturity, disease resistance, ease of harvest and uniformity. Over 10% of all U.S. bred modern hybrid corn varieties can trace their heritage back to this variety.^[1]

The ears are nine to eleven inches long with sixteen to eighteen rows of large, yellow, dent kernels. The stalks grow tall and leafy with sturdy root systems. Strong root system for better resistance to wind or drought. Good as a silage variety. Each ounce is approximately 120 seeds.
