CULTURE: Dent corns are generally best adapted to the Southeast and Midwest and are used primarily for roasting ears, corn bread, and hominy. Some old timers actually prefer eating the starchy dent corns in the same manner as sweet corns. Perhaps this practice may be attributed to the insect resistance of the tight husks of many dent corns. Two maturity dates may be given for dent corn; the first is number of days to maturity for use as roasting ears. The second date is the number of days for use as meal, grits, or hominy. PACKET: 2 oz or 57 g (128 to 186 seeds, depending on variety) sows 40 to 60'.
