I'm not familiar with this variety, but as you know that corn has very
shallow roots, so it can't be planted on any kind of ridge or hill with
ease. If anything, corn should be lower than the surrounding ground.
However, assuming your garden is flat, then it sounds like you've got
weather. Winds that seem fairly mild to humans can take out a few rows of
corn.

I'm tring to grow Temptaion variety corn this year. The stalks are maybe
1 to 1.5 ft. tall and half of them are flopping over. I've tried to mound
dirt around the base and prop them up but it doesn't seem adequate. I
have them growing in 2 stalks per place, rows a foot apart and plants 8
inches apart.

Did I not plant the seed deeply enough?

Is having two together a cause?

Should I just pull them and start with new seed considering the season is
still young? Maturity is stated as about 60 days.
