Bloody Butcher Harvest

Best success so far growing bloody butcher maize. Still waiting on other cobs to mature. Only problems I had were cutworms and corn smut, other than that pretty resilient variety. Impressed with the size of cobs too!

That looks awesome!

I snuck a peak at one of my ears and it isn't quite ready yet. I can't wait to see

To be honest it wasn’t quite ready, but the husk was brown so I picked just see how they were doing. Probably wait til end of September to pick the rest.

Looks good!
I have a lot of ears showing the same damage to the tips as in your pic. I either break the tip off or if the damage is small pry out those seeds. Don't want to let mold ruin the whole ear. My early picked corn has a lot less of the worm damage, but the later picked has more.
Do you plan to make flour?

Looking at making mostly grits and regular flour. But a small portion will be masa flour. Did masa flour last year and it was pretty close to making tortillas.
