This may be the best crop yet on my cornfields. One was overrun by volunteer corn from last year. I tilled it up and the result was more volunteer corn than the first planting,. Because corn does not like to be crowded, too much, too close and the result is very few corn kernels. Next, I cultivated it twice, first crosswise to the planted rows, then parallel with the rows. Much to my surprise it provided very effective weed control while eliminating enough corn so the remainder can flourish. With timely rain this summer the corn has thrived and will provide significant nutrition to wildlife this winter; pheasants, deer and, not to be forgotten, fox squirrels.
