Corn needs a lot of rain at the right times. Setting & filling that ear of corn requires a lot in mid summer. As well, corn grows _very_ rapidly during warm humid times, to reach for the sky. Corn is a grass, so it likes the same things your lawn likes - N fertilzer, and water. However, I live in a real wet spot, we get 35" of moisture a year, have heavy dark soils with a yellow clay layer for several 100 feet of subsoil. Common wisdom is an inch of rain a week to make good corn during growing season. I get much better yields with .5" with my local soils. This summer have averaged nearly 2". I have a lot of dead corn. No life preservers. --->Paul
