Are these two corns the same?

Golden Cross is a hybrid, while the 8 row is the heirloom (what the hybrid was created from). So to answer your question, no these are not the same seeds.

Are Hybrids ok to use. Do they carry GMOs?

Yes it’s safe. It’s also considered an older seed. This is a non-GMO seed and is considered a “gardener’s” choice for corn. It was hybridized to make it easier for the average gardener to reep results from the corn planted in a garden vegetable bed.

In other words, it’s a fine plant. You should get a tasty sweet corn from it. :) I plant these from time to time. It’s wilt resistant.

Love the 8 row corn. Very sweet tasty heirloom corn.. I try to plant only heirloom vegies in my garden. Good luck.
