I plant a mixture of both. If I had to choose only one, it would be purple tops. They love the turnips after the tops are gone.

Cow corn, that's a new one. :D Can you define "small"? Small batches of either type of corn typically don't make it because of coons and deer. Field corn is the best choice, no doubt.
