In my hot, dry, and sandy NC climate, growing sweet corn can be a daunting task. This year, instead of fighting the weather to produce a tiny marketable crop of Silver Queen, I had the idea of planting field corn. Correct me if I am obviously wrong, but I think I would come out ahead by growing field corn and selling the stalks to produce stands for fall decorations instead of selling sweet corn ears. Does anyone have any tips for a first time field corn grower? For now, I plan to plant 12 100 ft. rows. I also plan to irrigate if I need to, as well as sidedress a little 10-10-10 at 3 weeks and straight nitrogen at layby. Are there any very hardy field corn varieties that I should look into? Remember, I do not care about ears, only stalk production. If there is anything else I should now, please do not hesitate to tell me!
