White Dent Corn
112 days — 'Silvermine' is an old dent variety that was once commonly grown throughout the Corn Belt of the United States. It is a little earlier than 'Boone County White', with somewhat smaller ears but usually deeper grains.[1] The ears grow about nine inches long and have fourteen to sixteen rows of large, white kernels. 'Silvermine' can be used as a roasting corn variety, and is also excellent for grits, meal, and animal feed.


Planting Instructions:
Soil must be at least 65ºF to germinate. Be patient and do not plant too early or you will waste a lot of seed! Plant in full sun and keep it watered. Corn is a wind-pollinated plant. Plant in blocks several rows wide to ensure full ears.
Sow seeds about 1½ to 2½ inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in rows spaced 24 to 30 inches apart. Thin to 6 to 12 inches apart. Informational References:
