I'd like to see your field prep and planting with the equipment you use.

What is your roll spacing?

[@ottercat8527]

Hey Ed ! I've grow for fresh mkt for several years . What variety of sweet corn do you like there in Kansas ?

[@edwardschneider2716]

Matriarch does well here

[@richardwade4194]

They make finger sets just for sweetcorn

[@edwardschneider2716]

I didn't know that. I will look into it

[@jayrussell3796]

I must not have planted deep enough because about a third of my sweet corn is falling over or lodging...first time attempt...also the tassles are forming but i don't have any ears on it yet ? Any help ?

[@FreshPickedAcresKS]

Many corn varieties do have tassels before silk. You can hill up your corn if depth is too shallow. Next year plant 2" deep.

@@FreshPickedAcresKS Thank you. I will do that. I only went an inch deep according to the instructions...now i know better !
