Narrative

This variety of corn was developed by David Farley of Walthill, NE, a member of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. In about 2004, he obtained a sample of flint/flour corn from Victor Bird of Winnebago, NE, a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Mr. Bird?s corn included a mixture of kernel colors: red, yellow, blue, and a little maroon, in addition to white. Mr. Farley suspects that Mr. Bird?s corn was of local provenance, perhaps from a member of the Omaha Tribe, but he has no record of its origin. Mr. Farley conducted four cycles of purifying mass selection between 2004 and 2008 on Mr. Bird?s population to produce a white corn, a type primarily of flinty endosperm, but with some floury endosperm ears retained to keep the population size sufficiently large. This corn is used to produce an Omaha traditional mush called Washonge. The ears are traditionally parched and the kernels then ground or pounded into a meal. Additional otes from Mark P. Widrlechner state: "Dave grew it out OP and braided a group of white ears that showed both flinty and floury kernels. I have been unable to find anyone else who is still maintaining this corn. My friend, Vida Stabler, of Walthill, Nebraska, was aware of this corn, and Dave gave her permission to remove some seeds from the braid for planting, which we did this May. We planted this corn along with 9 PI white flour corns in a traditional garden plot in Walthill. When we harvested this fall, I could see that the drought and heat stress had prematurely killed most of the PI plants, and those that were left were either very early types that matured before the Omaha corn or a few late types. Of the ten varieties, the Omaha corn was the best adapted. (I should add that it also got the most water, because it was closest to the hose.) There was a commercial field of yellow dent corn about a quarter mile to the south of Vida's plot. However, I found very few yellow kernels on the Omaha ears. As far as I can tell, it is a traditional Omaha corn, similar to that maintained for many years by the late Elmer L. Blackbird (1921-2007) of Walthill, NE."
