Okay you sweet corn farmers, tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have a 40 acre plot of land that is the transmitter site for the TV station I work at, and we rent it to a farmer that grows corn on it. We have about an acre inside a fence in the middle that our transmitter building is located in. I have tried to grow sweet corn inside of the fence out there the last two years and it just doesn't work. The seeds germinate, but they just peter out when they are an inch high or so. The weeds (dandelions, clover, and crabgrass) grow like crazy in there so there doesn't seem to be any problem with the ground. The farmer's corn grows like gangbusters. I tried planting a few seeds in between his rows and they grew well there, but got torn out when he cultivated. I have pulled the weeds from around my corn so I don't think they are choking it out. I do know that the water out there that we are watering it with is unusually high in iron, too. It's probably too late this year to replant but I wondered what I'm doing wrong. A previous post mentioned side dressing it with 28% UAN -- is that the solution? Brian

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
