Wapsie Valley Dent is an heirloom variety of dent corn that produces 7 to 8-inch-long ears filled with golden kernels.  Developed by Adolph Steinbronn of Bremer County, Iowa, Wapsie Valley Dent was selected from a cross between Reid's Yellow Dent and a once-popular dent variety known as Golden Glow.  It was released to growers in 1971.  Wapsie Valley Dent features well-formed ears borne on 9-foot-tall plants with good standability and overall yield.  The golden kernels have a red cast, owing to their pericarp pigmentation, and are reported to be preferred by livestock with an average of 11% crude protein.  This nutritional powerhouse isn't just for critters, though.  Its golden kernels are well-suited for grinding into cornmeal and grits.  Distillers also report that they also make an excellent, distinctly flavored bourbon.

After Steinbronn passed away, Wapsie Valley Dent was picked up and further improved by longtime corn breeder Victor Kucyk.  Its performance in a variety of university and USDA trials surprised researchers, notching yields as high as 152 bushels per acre in one location, on par with the commercial checks used in the study—not bad for an open-source variety.

Although still relatively unknown today, at least by the wider corn grower community, Wapsie Valley Dent represents the life's work of a man who swore off herbicides and industrialized agriculture long before it was popular to do so.  His work, combined with that of Kucyk has pushed the limits of what is possible for open-pollinated corn.  Today, Steinbronn's family carries on his legacy with the operation of their regenerative organic farm in Waverly, Iowa (see link below).  There they produce a variety of open-pollinated corn and small grain varieties while managing a herd of beef cattle.  Wapsie Valley Dent matures approximately 87 days after sowing.  Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

If you are interested in purchasing larger quantities of this variety or would like to support the Steinbronn farm directly, please visit their website here.

The Air & Space Museum is a national treasure.
Format: Hardcover
This is one of those books that makes you wish you were there. Lots of pictures and tidbits of information. A good quality book physically as well. We get their magazine and this is one of many books we have both from and about the museum. Highly Recommended.

Great photo essay, history of aviation and space
i'm an engineer- worked rocket motors, and various satellite programs. this book was recommended by associate after visiting the museum at Langley. The pics are super, with short descriptions, and moderate on the tech. It's an amazing pulse of this wild history, and mostly is from America's lineage. St. Louis, Mercury, Atlas, and up to current Shuttle. There's also the SST, and unique turn of the century early birds. A fine read to be shared with a youngster (my son 10, digs it), or for the history or engineering buff. amazon has it cheaper than at the museum.

Essential reading for PowerPoint presenters.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Cliff shows details how to improve our PowerPoint presentations. He gives concrete and simple steps to transform a message into a targeted presentation. All of us have suffered from presenters who went over their allotted time because they had vital information to give us, yet we still didn't know their main point. Many have seen slide decks burdened with dozens of bullet points. Did the volume of points yield more clarity or did they dull our ability to focus on the message? Probably not. Read Cliff's book. Follow his method and you'll be a more effective presenter.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!
