Growing Tips: Soil temperature at the time of planting is critical to the success of any open-pollinated corn variety. Ensure you have reached a soil temperature of 65 degrees prior to planting. Due to open-pollinated corn pollination requiring wind, plant corn in blocks as opposed to long rows. An example would be to plant 12, 25 plant rows as opposed to 2, 150 plant rows. This technique ensures an adequate amount of pollen is distributed to each plant resulting in full ears.
