wildflowers said:I don't know very much about growing corn, but it looks like you might have had a pollinating problem? How much corn seed did you plant or try to grow? Each corn kernel must be pollinated in order to grow, that's why it's recommended to grow at least 3 rows of corn, 8 feet or more long.


I hand pollinated it, poured it into a cup and poured pollen directly over the tassels for a week and a half, after that no more corn had pollen left. We had perfect weather during pollination. The odd placed kernels are a trait of this variety. This plant had fasciation too.
