History:
The Wade Hopkins McConnell Dent Corn stands as a testament to the legacy of Mr. Wade Hopkins McConnell from Scott County, VA. A revered figure in his community, Mr. Hop McConnell was more than just a name behind this corn.

Such gestures solidified his reputation as a generous soul and ensured that his name lived on, not just in stories but also as a cherished corn variety.

For a bountiful harvest, it's recommended to sow the seeds 1 inch deep, with an 8-12 inch spacing between them, in rows that are 24-36 inches apart. This corn thrives under full sunlight and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering and attention to its growth will ensure tall, healthy stalks and ears filled with vibrant kernels.
