Thanks for your reply,

Could I plant mine later so they aren't pollinating at the same time?
How much later? The field corn is really close. I don't think you
could go anywhere in the county and be over two miles away from field
corn, there is that much of it.

Gretings,

Here in South Cent Kentucky, there are hundreds of acres all around me
that are already sown in field corn. If I sow sweet corn in my garden
now, is there a chance of cross pollination? And what effect will that
have on my corn?

Thanks,

You need about a two mile separation to ensure your sweet corn is not
cross-pollinated by commercial field corn
