Default Small ears...? (the corn, not mine...)


Howdy,

What environmental factors might cause the ears of corn (two
different varieties) to be rather small.

They are well formed, have great taste, are in proper
proportion, but are extremely small.

Any ideas?

Sincere thanks,

Corn requires LOTS of fertilizer. Also, planting too close together can
cause this.

And plenty-o-water, too. 2-4" per week after the silk appears.
