Positive	Farmerdill	On Sep 7, 2004, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: A 1994 white se hybrid from Mesa Maize. Ears are 8 inches with 16 - 18 rows. It is a about 4-5 days earlier than Silver Queen, but a much smaller plant and slightly smaller ear. Good texture and flavor, but I prefer Silver King in this slot.
