A wonderful video with sweet Charlotte helping! Congratulations on your You Tube ads--I was thrilled to see you'd reached that milestone and will gladly watch them all. Please say hello to your Dad for me from Alabama. I pray for Mr Gerald by name. God bless you all!

I look forward to watching you show us how to make hominy. Please remember, some of us are total ignoramuses on the subject. I was told that the difference between corn and seed corn is the difference between now and the future; if you are given a choice between corn and seed corn, you grab the seed corn and RUN!

Thank you for the old time type videos. I’d really like to see the hominy making and the corn shuck twisted into a chair bottom. Good work Justin thanks again

Very interesting. I did see a cob with dents in it, it was in your seed saving pile didn't look like whole cob just a few rows . One of those things that make you go hummm... :)

You’re videos are very very special. The story behind everything makes it just that much more special. I really like your hat it’s real nice and I bet there’s a story behind it too.

Those sunset scenes get me EVERY time!! 😍
I have never seen corn the size of that hominy. Not even here in Texas where everything is supposed to be bigger and better! 🤣 Those kernels and ears are huge! My arms and hands hurt just thinking about that stuff going through that corn sheller! Despite the fact we grew acres of corn when I was a kid, I honestly did not know a lot of what you have shared about different varieties. I am really enjoying learning about it and so much more from you. It would really be awesome if you get to share a visit with your Cherokee friend one day! I bet he has some great stories and wisdom he could impart on folks. Don’t tell the other Youtubers, but I think you’re my favorite and I am really excited to see your follower count and views growing!! 😁

[paulblankenship]

You got real good pollination for just having two rows. I’m impressed!

[janhatchett]

I look forward to learning about hominy!

[jeffcollins]

Thank you for following your goal to provide educational material about the self sustaining ways. People need to learn the old ways because of what is coming in the future. Shalom and blessings to you and your family. I would love to talk with you some time about your #44 cane mill. I plan on building a horizontal mill this winter.

Maybe you can teach the difference between corn? Sweet.field etc.thx

[blackcitroenlove]

Cherokee Flour Corn is very closely related to the Iroquois White Flint so yes, it's a flint variety :) I'm an Eastern Cherokee and love to grow it even here in Connecticut! Good stuff
