I planted three varieties on the same date, figuring I'd have corn for about 3+ weeks when it matured. The first to mature was Silver King, and it was perfect. Next was NK 199, which has been the most dependable for me over many years. The weather was very hot when it was trying to pollinate, and the Japanese beetles moved in and ate the silks. It only fill out the lower half of each ear, and did not have a great taste. I sprayed the patch with Sevin, killed the bugs, and the later-maturing Silver Queen was fine.

Field corn and soybeans here in central IN look great.
