Tim W....did you get abundant rains? Just enough rain or on irrigation? We corn farm beside a dairy farm. They planted at 38k on 30 inch rows. And we did 31k. We planted different varieties obviously, and we know our nutrient levels are less than theirs. We combined both fields that are 15 ft apart. All I can say for sure is that 38k and good manure out produces on a wet year. BUT...they had no cobs on the dry hill. Tall plants but no cobs. Huge gamble for a grain farmer. But not for a dairy. Perfect rains from above make a lot of decisions look like the right ones.
my corn this year only grew between 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 ft my soil is not bad, I planted sweet and yellow dent corn, what do think may have cause the corn stunting in the corns growth , I have sandy soil . I have seen other farms in the area with the same problem. I have notice there soil is not sandy but dark soil.

Best corn we ever raised was 39k on 15" rows. Out yielded 30" rows at 36k bu almost 40 bpa. Only factor changed was row spacing and higher population.

I thought that in the seed corn bags specified the optimum corn population to plant per acre

I've been planting around 25k why well I usually get 2 full ears on the stalk, I'm not going to tell you my yield because you can figure it out.

What was your fertility plan that year???
How wet was your soil and how many weeds were there
Which is the best
But how do you prevent Army worm infestation??
