Abstract
A novel method of producing maize grain with desirable functionality has been developed involving planting two different maize hybrids within the same field. The two maize hybrids are planted in alternating blocks of rows. One hybrid is male sterile such that the second hybrid provides pollen for the entire field. This leads to blocks of two separate types of grain which may be harvested and processed separately.
