Once upon a time, there was a gorgeous spotted corn that traced its roots back to a legendary Native American variety. Ed Schultz, a corn breeder from Montana with a knack for creating unique strains, decided to pay homage to this sacred crop by blending it with other corns. The result? Cudu corn, a stunning variety with slender ears and kernels that sport blue spots like a cheetah's fur.
Back in 1958, Oscar Will donated some seeds of the original Cudu corn to the USDA seed bank, but over time, the blue eagle markings on the kernels began to fade, and the cobs turned out short and stunted. Ed, being the intrepid grower that he is, took up the challenge to revive this once-glorious crop. For five long years, he worked tirelessly to adapt it to the chilly climate of his northern region, experimenting with different corn varieties until he found the perfect match.
Now, thanks to Ed's efforts, Cudu corn is thriving once again, boasting longer cobs and retaining its iconic blue-spotted kernels. It just goes to show that even the most historic crops can benefit from a little crossbreeding magic.
