That's so interesting. Sometimes I get a cob with crooked rows, or it isn't fully finished. Is that due to damage also?

Crooked rows (spiraling) is usually on ears with 14 or less kernel rows. If it starts out at 18, then reduced in rows, then a stress hitbthe plant before the 5 leaf stage.

I went out this morning and broke off a piece of the tassel and swiped it across the silks. I want to make sure I get corn! This is a good thread, lots of information.

So more of the corn is tasseled and starting to grow ears no silk yet, except the one that had silk already. I sprayed it with BT last Sunday and the silk is still on the ear this Sunday. Time will tell if we eat corn from the garden or not.
