Lots of really great information! I have been growing or around corn my whole life and I grew some Glass Gem corn this year that put on more tillers I had ever seen . I was kinda surprised they tillered so much because they are planted close together . I'm getting some ears on the tillers as well . I guess the best seed to save and plant comes from a tiller . I have always left my tillers because I had always heard you got a better chance of hurting the plant taking them off then just leaving them . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
Hi, thanks for commenting. I appreciate hearing from farmers and growers, as well as agronomists. I think it's really cool that scientists were able to determine that energy mobilizes from the tillers to the main plant, proving that the tillers actually _benefit_ and not _inhibit_ your yield. But I like your reason better!
As someone who "attempted " to grow corn very early in my gardening journey, with minimal success... your tutorial was VERY helpful! Never really liked corn until quite recently. I now will incorporate this valuable food source into my fully revamped "vegie garden"! Thanks again for your sage advice! Kind regards from Melbourne, Australia. 😊🙏🍀
Thanks for sharing all this information there eh! make lots of sense last year was 1st for corn for me saved some seed growing more this season they are shorter but growing corn... next year I will plant more in same space... Again thank for sharing
It is July here in NC, and there's pleanty of time to plant another corn crop. I'm gonna do an experiment to see how many plants I can get to grown in a 10 foot circle!!! Thank you Sir for the idea!!

That makes so much sense about harming the plant. This video is great because it goes to show that you don’t need a lot of space to get a good harvest
@@CinnamonBear-xv4eq I ended up harvesting a bunch of ears off those tillers from the Glass Gem and saved the seed
That's why i didn't pull mine out. I thought it would hurt the plant...didn't know though.
