Corn - when to harvest?

This weekend my corn tassels opened and started to drop pollen. How long
does it take for the corn to mature? And how long can it remain on the
plant? I have about 30 plants, and will probably have about 50-60 ears
ripen. I have 4 blocks total, each timed to ripen about 1-2 weeks apart.
Hmm...200 ears of corn in one month. Did I over do it? :-P
When the raccoons tear down the stalks and steal all the corn, you'll
know that it would have been ready to pick in another 2 days. HTH :-)
Best regards,
Bob
