In the South in recent years, Silver King has almost completely replaced Silver Queen corn, but everybody still refers to it as Silver Queen. I don’t see either in this part of Texas, though.
My neighbor grew two kinds last year, some kind of early corn, then the G-90 came in. It was a huge difference in taste. I asked him the other day when he brought me that mega-load of magazines, if he had planted yet, “No, it’s been too wet” Johnny can’t beg or buy rain, and we have an abundance.
Johnny’s got rain now! Praise the Lord! I planted an early corn in 2010 - sunglow. IIRC, it was about 50 dtm. Had a really great flavor and tender.
Hubby planted Bantam last year. I think he waited too long to harvest it. It was kinda starchy and tough.
He won’t plant white corn, but I like white corn the best. So I usually wait until he has his stuff planted, and then plant mine later so that they are not pollinating at the same time, and I get as far away from his plot as I can.
