With the weather this spring, a lot of the corn wasn’t “knee high by the 4th of July”, but now most of the corn stalks were over my head and it is tasseling and silking. And the corn silks look like a hair wig as the silks blow in the wind. There is one silk for each potential kernel of corn, and if a silk doesn’t get pollinated, then there will be a missing kernel.
Corn Silk
I learned something about the silk, number of kernels & pollination
