I have planted sweet corn in late March and had ears with zero worms. They're often ready before the caterpillar eggs hatch. Sometimes frost kills the entire planting. LOL Luscious is my early variety, it'll be ready by the weekend. It's only been sprayed once with spinetoram, a semi-synthetic related to spinosad. The Funk's G90 will be ready in less than two weeks. I'll spray it one more time. The G90 is extremely tall and dark green. I see some stalks with three ears but I don't expect them all to be full size ears. I planted the sweet corn where I had a brassica/radish cover crop. I applied a small amount of 19-19-19 at planting. When I laid it by when it was knee high, I applied a small amount of the triple 19 along with a trickle of urea down the row middles and cut it in with a tiller. I watered my sweet corn for the first time today since it hasn't rained in a while.

Before you get ready to harvest buy a Super Benriner No. 95 Japanese Mandalin for cutting off the cob. It only takes about 5 passes on the comb. I can do about 100 ears in 15 to 30 minutes

Try Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt! You will never go back to another veggie seasoning.

Going to try the double rows next year with hopes of only growing corn every other year.

I'll have to try that seasoning, but I highly recommend Meat Church BBQ's Texas Sugar, it is amazing on corn on the cob, thanks for the vids

Fantastic Travis! Thank You, Sir! Racoons and squirells seem to thunk the sweet corn is ready to harvest a few days before the farmer thinks it is ready....Ha! Chuck in Jensen Beach FL

I appreciate the knowledge and experience that you share brother 🙏🏻 P.S. it doesn’t matter to me how you dress, talk or present that information…

Brother, I wish you live where I do. That way we'd have the same issues. We have had more rain than we can handle in S.E. Texas. No flooding, but more caterpillars than I have ever seen!!!!!

The kids might need to set up the farm stand again to sell some sweet corn.

Just got my dwarf cowhorn okre. Soaking some seeds now to plant tomorrow. Thanks Travis!

You are very inspirational! My corn took a dive! This is my first time planting, & they started off looking great. I'm using 20 gallon grow bags & planted 6 in each. They got to about 3 feet, then the leaves started turning yellow & the tassels opened. I did hit them with some blood meal, but nothing. I don't even think I have any ears. What am i doing wrong?

My corn here in ne ohio got planted in early may and its dark green and 5 to 6 ft high, just starting to form tassles. Should be a decnt crop and im thinking of planting one more short growing variety this week just to see if it makes it. Lol

Patrick Shivers just had a video today comparing a plot of GMO corn with the BT/Roundup ready to a non GMO variety and his GMO corn actually had worms in the ears whereas the regular hybrid didn't have any. He's over near Ft. Gaines GA I believe.

Nice Corn Travis😁🇦🇺🧑‍🌾

Look great. I hope my corn looks half as good as yours. I started mine late to make sure it didn’t get ready when we went on vacation and got terrible germination. Not a good stand so I am just praying the kernels fill out.

Lol I wish there was a BT squash seed.....My zucchini plants are not looking so good. Love your corn!

@LazyDogFarm 2 ай бұрын

There are squash seeds with systemic insecticide treatments. That's what the commercial guys use. It's called "FarMore" treated seed.

How often or deep should we be watering? I have nice dark leaves and small ears forming. Didn’t rain for a while but got a huge 2 week downpour in Dallas Texas.

I'm wondering if you apply a mulch to your corn beds.

@marksexton1340 2 ай бұрын

I went away for a couple days, and mice have eaten almost all of silk of my corn... I'm kinda doubting they got pollinated. We have a huge mouse problem this year, runnin traps daily. It's so damn depressing, when you grow stuff just for varmits...
