Organic growers are interested in supporting organic plant breeding and purchase varieties bred under organic conditions. The goal of this work was to develop improved varieties of sweet corn (Zea mays, L.) for organic farmers. Chapter one gives an overview of the organic movement, plant breeding for organic systems, and sweet corn breeding to provide context for variety development. In chapter two, recurrent selection was used to increase yield under high planting density (82,493 plants ha-1). Three cycles of selection were evaluated using a split plot design with low (43,040 plants ha-1) and high planting densities. Significant positive linear (coefficient 4.8) and quadratic (coefficient 2.4) trends were found for number of marketable ears per plot. In chapter three, ten top cross varieties were created. They were evaluated in a randomized complete block design in two years with three locations per year. The top crosses had improved performance compared with the open pollinated parent for traits related to inbreeding (p

Organic growers are interested in open pollinated sweet corn varieties due to their ability to be further bred and adapted to specific environments and management systems. Yet organic growers report that certain characteristics of open pollinated varieties, particularly a lack of uniformity for certain traits, hinders adoption and marketability. Additionally, growers at large seek new products to differentiate themselves in the marketplace and local chefs and restaurateurs seek new raw products to drive innovation in the kitchen. In particular, chefs report a need for different types of fresh eating corn, namely 'vegetable' types of corn that are less sweet, starchier, and better suited to cooking. The goal of this work was to determine best methods for the characterization and improvement of open pollinated sweet corn varieties and vegetable corn populations for organic agroecosystems. Using a half diallel of commonly used inbred lines near isogenic for four endosperm types, sugary1, shrunken2, waxy1, and wild type, chapter two found that while variation existed for carbohydrate traits and total soluble solids across endosperm types and for hybrids within an endosperm type, total soluble solids content correlated with soluble carbohydrates only when assessed across all endosperm types. Using three cycles of recurrent selection on total soluble solids content in a sweet x field, 'vegetable', corn population under organic management, chapter three found that this trait had low heritability, and selection did not improve the fresh eating harvest window. Taken together, these chapters illustrate that there was too much error in the total soluble solids measurement to be used effectively in sweet or vegetable corn breeding. Future breeding work to widen the fresh harvest window in vegetable corn populations could use sensory analysis or kernel moisture as selection tools. Chapter four evaluated a trial of experimental and commercially available open pollinated sweet corn varieties under organic management for uniformity of flowering time and a suite of traits of relevance to growers and consumers. Three open pollinated varieties bred in the Wisconsin Sweet Corn Breeding Program, 'Who Gets Kissed', 'Who Gets Kissed Too', and 'Quick Kiss' were as uniform as the open pollinated check variety for silk emergence. However, selection for earlier and more uniform flowering time in 'Who Gets Kissed Too' relative to 'Who Gets Kissed' has not significantly changed these traits, future selection work must use experimental designs that better control environmental variance to improve efficiency and make gains. In general, methods to improve the uniformity of traits like flowering time and eating quality of open pollinated varieties could be improved by first quantifying the variability inherent in the variety via measuring a large sample of plants in multiple environments, information which could then be used to inform selection to better serve the needs of growers.

When the hail starts to fall, Atina Diffley doesn’t compare it to golf balls. She’s a farmer. It’s “as big as a B-size potato.” As her bombarded land turns white, she and her husband Martin huddle under a blanket and reminisce: the one-hundred-mile-per-hour winds; the eleven-inch rainfall (“that broccoli turned out gorgeous”); the hail disaster of 1977. The romance of farming washed away a long time ago, but the love? Never. In telling her story of working the land, coaxing good food from the fertile soil, Atina Diffley reminds us of an ultimate truth: we live in relationships—with the earth, plants and animals, families and communities. A memoir of making these essential relationships work in the face of challenges as natural as weather and as unnatural as corporate politics, her book is a firsthand history of getting in at the “ground level” of organic farming. One of the first certified organic produce farms in the Midwest, the Diffleys’ Gardens of Eagan helped to usher in a new kind of green revolution in the heart of America’s farmland, supplying their roadside stand and a growing number of local food co-ops. This is a story of a world transformed—and reclaimed—one square acre at a time. And yet, after surviving punishing storms and the devastating loss of fifth-generation Diffley family land to suburban development, the Diffleys faced the ultimate challenge: the threat of eminent domain for a crude oil pipeline proposed by one of the largest privately owned companies in the world, notorious polluters Koch Industries. As Atina Diffley tells her David-versus-Goliath tale, she gives readers everything from expert instruction in organic farming to an entrepreneur’s manual on how to grow a business to a legal thriller about battling corporate arrogance to a love story about a single mother falling for a good, big-hearted man.
