So we're going to try growing some corn this year. We've never done this before, so I'm looking to avoid any mistakes any of you might ha e previously done.
One thing I have taken in:
Don't plant two different varieties within close (400') proximity unless you stagger their plantings so the blooming doesn't occur at the same time. Also, planting 4 or 5 rows of tall sunflowers between corn sections can help protect from cross pollination.
Future lessons:
I don't know what else to ask, just figured I'd shoot a "help ke not screw this up" post out there

Future lessons:
- How far apart should I make rows? 36"? 42"?
- Do they like or not like any particular types of mulching?
