All I know is each corn stalk averages 2-3 full ears per growing season. The plants ideally should be spaced 6-8 inches apart. That gives you the figures to guesstimate how many rows. I can't do math this late at night

All I know is that the average sweet corn cob contains between 1/2 cup and 3/4 cup of corn. I bet a dent corn cob would be similar. I would BUY some ear corn, strip the kernels, weigh the result and get to figuring!

Or, have someone that already has the corn do that and let you know their results.

Im liking that idea Deb.

I will probably set out six rows. And intercrop with the corn.

Well, I have both the corn and a scale. So, as soon as I remember, I'd take some off the ears and weigh it.

Okay, THANKS!

The kernels from the one ear I did weighed just over 9 ounces. But remember, not every ear will necessarily be full.

And now I have a question about the corn, can you just plant the field corn that you glean, or is it a sterile hybrid? I'm wanting to grow some corn as well, but don't know if I need to buy seed or just use what I have.
