About how many kernels are on an ear of corn?
An ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows.
How much corn is on one cob?
All corn cobs are different to each other just like humans. In general, a normal sized corn cob will have around 16 rows of kernels with about 40 kernels per row.
How many rows of corn per cob?
You have that mixed up, and nor does the question make any sense. A cob is not a corn plant: it is a appendage that holds the corn kernels that is grown or comes from the corn plant. You can have many rows of corn with many cobs on them, and typically the number of cobs on a corn plant (especially GMO corn) is a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio.AnswerIt can vary widely depending on the type of corn, whether field, sweet, or another type, and depending on what the plant breeder bred it to do. Older varieties can have as few as 12 rows of kernels on a cob, while certain types of sweet corn can have as many as 24. The average across all types is 16 to 18 rows of kernels to the ear.
How many kernals are on the cob?
The number of rows of kernels in corn vary and some do not have rows at all.

Space the kernels 9 to 12 inches apart in the row.
How many ears of corn for one pound of kernels?
Gee, wouldn't it be just great if Brachs would sell candy corn in 5 gallon buckets? Then we could repurpose the buckets for something else when they're empty. And oh, ppl could ask how many in the bucket? Whoo hoo!!!!!!
A field has 311 rows cobs of corn with 187 cobs of corn in each row how many corn of cobs are there in all?
you just multiply them together
How many kernels of corn are on a cob?
That depends upon a number of things. Any given variety of corn will produce a characteristic number of kernel rows, as counted in the middle of the ear (fewer rows at the end, where the ear tapers). Poor growing conditions, or poor rates of pollination will result in fewer rows, and fewer kernels overall. But, in general, given fair growing conditions and good pollination rates, most varieties will produce either 8, 10, 12, or 14 rows of kernels in the middle of the ear. 8 rows is typical for many earlier, open-pollinated varieties. 12 or 14 rows is more typical for the latest hybrid varieties. All the above is for sweet corn. I think the same general rules apply to feed corn, both flint and dent types. I know of no corn that produces an odd number of rows, unless it be an occasional freak ear. I did a little research after asking this question, so I thought I would post an update. As the previous poster was kind enough to inform us, the number of rows does vary. But in my research, I never found any evidence that it could be as low as 8 or 10 (nor have I ever seen an ear of corn with so few rows). Also, the number of rows is (for the most part*) dependent only upon the specific variety of corn. From what I can tell, 16 is probably the most common number of rows. 14 and 18 are also seen often. Confirming what the previous poster said about odd numbers, corn ears ALWAYS have an even number of rows, because the rows always occur in pairs. * Note, poor pollination will not affect the number of rows, though it will certainly affect the number of kernels. Also, "poor growing conditions" generally won't affect the number of rows. It has to be an EXTREME event, entailing severe physical or chemical damage to the plant, in an early stage of vegetative development. Lack of moisture isn't enough, at any time of the growing season. And nothing can affect the number of rows once the plant reaches the reproductive stages of development.

It depends on how long the rows are. For example, you can plant one row 14,520 feet long or you can plant 70 rows 207.5 feet long or you can plant 1,452 rows 10 feet long. They will each be one acre.
