Perhaps the corn isn't as high as that quote from Oklahoma, but it's tall and tasseling. The weather is ideal, too. With abundant moisture and modest temperatures the pollination will be good. Each kernel of corn has a silk that protrudes from corn husk at the end of the cob. A fleck of pollen falling from a tassel to a silk pollinates that kernel so it develops. Extreme heat can disrupt the pollinating process.
So there is your botany lesson for the day. You're welcome!
Takk for alt,
