 Topic: Corn tasseling yet?
Posted: 27 Jun 2018 at 1:04pm |
Mine just started. Planted 4/27/18. DeKalb DKC 64-87. 114 day maturity. SmartStax. 95% germ tested on 11/17. A product of Monsanto.
I saw a bunch tasseling when I went through Georgia a few weeks ago. We're about 100 miles south of Chicago.

W C Iowa, just N of I-80, between US 59 & 71. Tassels just started showing, planted last week of April. The 4 - 5" rain in last 10 days has really made everything grow.

Some of our corn is just out of the ground as it was planted June 5! Other areas that did not get flooded have corn waist high.

Whole fields of it tasselling here today. Another 1.5 inches of rain and 60 to 80 mph winds here today. A lot of corn is broken off about waist high. DOT is out sawing up big trees that are down on the highways.

The heat index is supposed to be 110 today and tomorrow. I guess I'm glad it's not quite pollinating yet. It's supposed to cool off a little next week with a chance of showers Monday through Thursday. That'll be alright.

I irrigate with drip tape if no rain. Just made one planting of Silver Queen Sweetcorn. Ate corn on the grill for a treat beginning a couple weeks ago. Blanched and cut off the cob and froze more than 2 old folks need for a year. Nothing goes to waste here. Shredded the patch after the last pick. Waiting for a rain to till stubble in. Not sure what to plant next. Maybe butternut and acorn squash. Pumpkins ? When in full Tassel I could not believe the millions of honey bees with pouches of yellow pollen working the whole patch. I could hear them before I saw them. I may plan a little more late sweetcorn for fall harvest.

This year is the earliest I have ever seen corn tassel in central Ia, by at least a week! Hopefully that translates into a low drying bill this fall.
