Silvermine is an old dent variety that was once commonly grown throughout the Corn Belt of the United States. It's a little earlier than Boone County White with ears of similar size but usually has deeper grains. The ears have fourteen to sixteen rows of large, white kernels. Silvermine can be used as a roasting corn variety, and is also excellent for grits, meal, and animal feed.
