This year I put in 2 corn rows in between each plant running north and south. This has helped in two ways. 1 they make for a very good wind break, 2 it shades the plants in morning and evening. My plants look very healthy and young looking yet. I’ve only done 2 foliar feeds this year so far as well, which has also helped with plant age. It can’t be hurting cause 2 of my kin’s are putting on upwards of 50lbs a day average. Within a week all the corn will be harvested and I’m taking the rows out opening the plants up to full sun all day. I will also start foliar feeding on a regular basis. My hopes are that I can continue the 50+ pounds a day for a good while yet. We have no shortage of sun up here this far north, I think somewhere around 18 hrs a day come June 21st.
