Growing Sweet Corn

When to Plant Corn - This is a warm weather crop in Zone 4, sometimes by May 15.  Farmers get their field corn in by May 1 but there is a chemical in their seed so it does not rot in cold soil.

How to Plant Corn - Plant 1 ½ inches deep, two seeds per.  Space 8 to 10 inches.  You need to plant 4 rows or more to cross pollinate.

After Planting Corn - To discourage raccoons put a radio in field in a pail.  Turn it on overnight to chase them away.

Harvesting Corn - When corn silk has turned medium to dark brown the corn is ready to pick.  Enjoy!
