when i was young we took ripe ears and pull the hush back leaving it attached to the ear. then we would hang it up to dry. when it was dry we would rub the kernels off the ear and put them in a paper sack and stor them in a cool dry place.

one thing to be careful of is cross pollination. corn will cross woth other corn up to a mile away.

the book "Seed To Seed" tells you how to isolate your corn to save seed.

good luck Keepitlow.
