Painted Mountain Corn
Painted Mountain corn, developed in Montana by plant breeder Dave Christensen, is a highly resilient, open-pollinated variety bred for harsh climates. It features vibrant multicolored kernels that contain up to a 14% protein content, and matures quickly, making it ideal for short growing seasons. Rich in nutrients, it's used for flour, livestock feed, and traditional food. Its genetic diversity ensures adaptability and sustainability.
