Can you grow corn from a piece of corn?

yes, it should grow with no problem. <><><> Maybe. If the original corn is a hybrid, what you get from planting it may not look like what you planted. If it is an "heirloom" non-hybrid seed, such as Country Gentleman sweet corn, you will get Country Gentleman. If it is a Hybrid Super Sweet, you may get a plant that looks more like a grass- one of the parents of the hybrid.

Is it true that farmers grow corn by planting cow corn on the out side and sweet corn on the inside of the field so that people don't take the sweet corn?

Actually no.. quite on the contrary if any. If the farmer grows both cow corn and sweet corn, the way we did it was the sweet corn on the outside 3 or 4 or however many rows, and the cow corn on the inside. It made it easier to pick, and you didn't ruin any cow corn when you tried to harvest it, because the outside was sweet corn which had already been picked.Additional Info.While it is very occasionally done, as both the answer above and one of the discussion points mention, it is only done in either way (outside or inside the field) on a very small portion of the field -- for the farm family's convenience. If you want high quality sweet corn, it must be planted in a location isolated from field (cow) corn, or any other type of corn, because the other corn's pollen will make the sweet corn kernels go "starchy". The best sweet corn (and what you buy in the can or frozen) is grown in a field all by itself for this reason.


How far does corn have to grow away from other plants?

Corn should be planted at least 8-12 inches apart in rows that are 30-36 inches apart. This spacing allows each plant to have enough room to grow without competing for nutrients, sunlight, and moisture with neighboring plants. However, the exact spacing may vary depending on the variety of corn being grown.


What is thinning of corn?

Corn is often planted about 3 to 6 inches apart. When stalks begin to grow, it is often thinned ( pulled ), so that stalks stand about 12" apart. Usually the smaller, weaker plants are pulled, to allow the larger types more room to grow.


How do you tell the difference between sweet corn and cow corn stalks?

Physiologically, there is very little difference, since they are actually the same species. In general, though, sweet corn tends to have shorter and smaller-diameter stalks than feed corn. Sweet corn tassels are usually light yellow compared to feed corn's red or reddish-green tassels. However, neither of these is 100% accurate. The only way to tell the difference for sure is to know what was planted, use a DNA test, or just wait till the corn matures.
