Growing Iochief (yellow su) Hybrid Sweet Corn
‘Iochief’ is a dependable hybrid sweet corn and 1951 All-America Selections Winner known for its strong drought tolerance, sturdy plants, and reliable yields. This late-season variety produces large ears filled with 14 to 18 rows of deep golden kernels, while tall, strong stalks hold up well against wind and often produce two ears per plant.
Sow ‘Iochief’ directly in the garden about 1 inch deep. Space plants about 3 feet apart and grow in full sun. This drought-tolerant variety is a strong choice for hot, dry growing conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 85 days, begin checking the ears as they approach maturity and pick them at peak eating quality when the kernels are plump and juicy.
Sweet, productive, and dependable, ‘Iochief’ is especially well suited for canning and freezing.
