heirloom grain seed
Explanation:
This generates several google hits, and I believe this is what you're looking for. Heirloom is widely used in agriculture and horticulture to refer to older varieties of crops. My colleage's suggestion is also good, but I would say grain and not corn, as Americans understand corn to mean maize only, whereas grain is more universal.
