Wapsie Valley Dent is an heirloom variety of dent corn that produces 7 to 8-inch-long ears filled with golden kernels.  Developed by Adolph Steinbronn of Bremer County, Iowa, Wapsie Valley Dent was selected from a cross between Reid's Yellow Dent and a once-popular dent variety known as Golden Glow.  It was released to growers in 1971.  Wapsie Valley Dent features well-formed ears borne on 9-foot-tall plants with good standability and overall yield.  The golden kernels have a red cast, owing to their pericarp pigmentation, and are reported to be preferred by livestock with an average of 11% crude protein.  This nutritional powerhouse isn't just for critters, though.  Its golden kernels are well-suited for grinding into cornmeal and grits.  Distillers also report that they also make an excellent, distinctly flavored bourbon.

After Steinbronn passed away, Wapsie Valley Dent was picked up and further improved by longtime corn breeder Victor Kucyk.  Its performance in a variety of university and USDA trials surprised researchers, notching yields as high as 152 bushels per acre in one location, on par with the commercial checks used in the study—not bad for an open-source variety.

Although still relatively unknown today, at least by the wider corn grower community, Wapsie Valley Dent represents the life's work of a man who swore off herbicides and industrialized agriculture long before it was popular to do so.  His work, combined with that of Kucyk has pushed the limits of what is possible for open-pollinated corn.  Today, Steinbronn's family carries on his legacy with the operation of their regenerative organic farm in Waverly, Iowa (see link below).  There they produce a variety of open-pollinated corn and small grain varieties while managing a herd of beef cattle.  Wapsie Valley Dent matures approximately 87 days after sowing.  Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

If you are interested in purchasing larger quantities of this variety or would like to support the Steinbronn farm directly, please visit their website here.

Playing fetch for hours
Size: Medium, Style: Medium (4 Pack)
Tennis balls with the hairs pick up so much dirt and then that goes right into my dog's mouth. These are cleaner, my dog loves them, and they are easy to find when my pup decides he's done and drops it in the lawn or the snow. They hold up well after playing hours of fetch with my border collie.

Built tough for puppies

These are great, the bright color stands out in grass outdoors they bounce well on hard floors indoors, and they’ve held up well even after a couple weeks of a very chew happy puppy playing with them.

Best ball for retrieving ever
Size: Medium, Style: Medium (4 Pack)
I have been using a ball launcher to exercise my Border Collie. Up till now I have been using the launcher to throw tennis balls. Even with the launcher I can only throw the balls a couple of hundred feet. These balls go MUCH further. I am using a steep horse pasture to throw the balls and I have to make sure that I don't launch them past the fence at the end of the pasture. I think the thing that makes them go further is their weight combined with a smooth surface. They also have incredible bonce. They hit and just shoot way up into the air. Also, the tennis balls I was using were green. In my horse pasture they were easy for the Collie to miss since they blended right in to the grass. These balls with the orange with blue stripes are far easier for the dog to find. It's really hard to tire out a Border Collie but these balls do the job.
