The corn is looking good! The old saying is ‘knee-high by the 4th of July’ and you know the corn is going to produce!
Thanks to everyone who posted comments while my internet was messed up. I have a new signal thinge so I can do emails from home or work again. YEA!
I’m so far behind now, I’m not sure if I can get caught up. But I plan on visiting everyone’s blog starting today!

Our corn has grown amazingly well this year.
On June 30th it was Linki size
then on the 4th of July it was Bladen size,
and today it is showing signs of tasseling out.
Tasseling out is one of the most critical stages of corns’ development. What a farmer is aiming for is a large kernel number per ear on each stalk of corn. In other words a full ear of kernels! Most corn ears have about 12 to 16 rows of kernels, but if the conditions are just right you can sometimes have rows of upwards to 20! Now that is cool and helps with the tonnage at harvest.
I won’t go into tasseling and silking and pollination at this time. But suffice it to say, the corn is definitely ‘knee high by the 4th of July’!
