We strive for the original open pollinated traits in an effort to limit, or mitigate the percentage of GMO cross contamination in our corn. We have been able to reduce it from slightly under 3% to just over 1% in the last three years. We began testing it every year so we can track our progress.

Adolph Steinbronn developed Wapsie Valley Dent Open Pollinated Corn in 1971.  Unfortunately, there are many versions crediting its origin to the Amish and native Americans. 

Wapsie Valley Open Pollinated Corn all started when Adolph Steinbronn shared his passion for organic farming and his desire to create what he considered the perfect corn.  I was 5 years old when Dad started on this journey, his passion definitely rubbed off on me.  I watched him struggle to develop a successful seed business up to the time when cancer made it impossible for him to continue. I feel honored and privileged to be able to resume and continue his legacy - Larry Steinbronn
