Default Stunted corn

Has anyone in New England gotten a decent corn crop this year? My ears
are all stunted, no more than two inches long. It seems that this has
been a great year for fruit and a terrible year for vegetables. I've had
a huge number of blueberries and a fair number of strawberries, in fact
my blueberry buses and strawberry plants are still bearing. In past years
I've only had blueberries for a couple of weeks and I've never gotten a
strawberry, this year I've had berries since June and I still have them
at the end of August. My corn crop is a pathetic. I only had a handful of
peas, all of the beans died as did all of my cucumber plants. My tomatoes
were all dying from the tomato plague, however I've managed to save them
by spraying with Agway's fruit tree spray which has a broad spectrum
fungicide.
