Default Re: Anyone Growing FIELD CORN ?

My favorite is Truckers Special, (truckers favorite) or at least that is what I remember. It grew to at least 8 foot tall and produced 2 ears per stalk of which were 12 to 14 inches long and over 3 inches in diameter. They were well watered and much compost was in their diet. After a small storm they were knocked down so we propped them up and they finished to ripening stage. Very delicious if harvested at the right time. Will be planting a large crop in Janurary.
