What would be the best method for saving the seed for next year for
this heirloom corn?

Just let it dry on the stalk.then shuck it out store in a cool dry place for a
couple of weeks ,then shell it and store it for next year. Hopefully you didn't
plant any other type of corn near it.

Thanks for the advice! I don't have it in the ground yet and I'm not
likely to this year. How far from another type of corn will it need
to be?

Another question: where is the best place to keep seed packets?
Kitchen drawer, refrigerator, freezer, somewhere else?

Thanks,
Gary
