Good morning all, Jason here. As most of you know Joni is the one that does the majority of the Facebook posts here at The Enchanted Valley Farm. I'm posting today to share some news that I received from the USDA.
When we first started the farm years ago I had the pleasure of having my uncle Roger at my side, helping and teaching. It was devastating to all of us when he passed away in 2017.
Since his passing I have developed a love of growing Indian corn. Each year I would select only the best ears and replant those seeds. Over time what developed was my own variety of Indian corn. Some years later my cousin Joan gave me a few ears of Indian corn that she had saved that Roger had grown. I added in those seeds and blended it into my variety.
After growing for so many seasons I was able to register my variety of Indian corn with the USDA. Because I am the developer of this variety I was given the honor of naming it. I can now proudly say that there is a seed variety registered with the USDA called "I'm with Roger". It is found under field corn varieties. The registration includes a testimony to my Uncle Roger. The seed is now officially available to the market from us here at The Enchanted Valley Farm.
