So Lance and I had another year of growing and selecting the Victor Kucyk corn given me some years ago, and it just keeps getting better every year as we choose only the best plants and cobs for replanting the following year.
Patti and I went through the acre of plants twice, when the corn first started to dry down, to pick the earliest maturing of the cobs from the best plants, ending up with about 200 ears, from which I further selected just 30 to keep for seed. Cob selection this year was for only cobs in excess of 12″ in length, no insect damage, and fully developed kernels all the way out to the tip. Color range is fairly diverse, but primarily it is reds and yellows. 
Baby Vi “helped” me shell the corn, which meant there was quite a mess by the time I was done.
Very beautiful ears of corn! I like the uniform rows of kernels. It’s fun to make crosses and then select out a new type, isn’t it?!
In the cold region where Painted Mtn Corn was developed it must be 8-rowed so that the cobs are thin and dry fast. If they are not dry on time they sour and rot when the freezes damage them. I recommend you do not let your ears get too thick, too fat. Fast dry down can be critical to avoid mold problems too.
