What is this....

I'm here in Alabama too. Those things grow on my fenceline. I've never thought about eating them...I think the donkey eats em though, If I don't weed whack them down, I think he gets them.

That corn has run it's course. Water all you want, it won't matter, it's dying.

The best way to have a steady trickle of corn is to plant a few different varieties at once. Some will come in as early as 58 days, some..like "Silver Queen" takes approx. 92 days to come in. Otherwise, you'll have it all come in at one time.

I know about the rain deficit...we just got some this past week and weekend. It was the first in a while and we are below the normal rainfall level for the last 2 years...

Thanks for the info guys!

Podunkadunk, where in Alabama are you located? I think I'll leave the corn for the critters until I'm ready to plow, and shut off the water in the mean time.

Way too late to water that corn. What you see is what you get. I'm in TN. Way too dry in the south this year for corn. Glad I'm not a full time farmer depending on corn for a living. The price is very high but the yield will be very low in our part of the country this year.
