I plant two different varieties of corn. One is early and the other is
late variety. The early corn is about 3 feet tall the late one is about
3-5 feet high and the tassels have all ready developed but no signs of the
ears developing. Its grown in hard clay. Does this mean the corn will not
develope any ears? I planted corn in the same area last year and had no
problems but it was a different variety. We been getting enough rain here
in northern Ohio. Should I use lot of high nitrogen fertilizer?
Or is it too late and give up on it?

Clay soil has a lot of nutrients in it, but corn (like most grasses)
uses nitrogen. I would apply it, but something like Miracle Grow
according to the label directions. Rotate your crop next year and
prep your soil by tilling in compost (or any organic matter) and
10-10-10.
