I disagree, my dad has used his corn with very little difference.

I don't mean to question your memory, but well over 95% of all corn planted in the united States is hybrid, with a resulting yield improvement in the 35 - 40% range over open pollinated seed.

Open pollinated corn is only planted as a specialty corn or where someone is really living off a trust fund and is trying to prove some social point.
