That is true, my bias toward some of the current corns comes from the inability to grow them from saved seed and the introduction of new genetic material into corn. Without the modern hybrids yields would be at less then half of what they are today, plant science does feed the world. I just want to blame the overdevelopement of the hybrids for a loss in general adaptability. It was a very thin line of argument at best. Currently I am growing in my garden some saved seed derived from a base of Bloody Butcher corn and it is surviving the heat with a little care. The squirrels like it.
Send me some Bloody Butcher seed.
As far as field corn, the hybrids today have double the yield of those from yesteryear. I have raised thousands of acres of corn, grew up farming and still farm. This goes way beyond a little patch in the back yard. Plant technology is no more evil than any other contemporary technology. Should we be communicating between a line strung between two cans or, perhaps we should mount a horse and meet up in a distant town. Think about it.
