Sweet Corn 
CULTURE: Well-drained, deeply cultivated and 
well-fertilized soil is best. Do not plant until danger 
of frost is past. Late crops should not be planted 
until the ground is quite warm. Sweet corn is 
more sensitive to cold than field corn. Hills for 
early varieties should be planted 3 feet apart each 
way; for late varieties 3 to 4 feet apart each way. 
Plant-4 to 6 kernels to each hill and thin to 3 or 4 
plants to a hill when plant reaches a height of 6 
inches. Sow 144 pound for 100 feet; 15 pounds per 
acre. When planting in rows, space rows 3 to 4 feet 
apart and plant seed 1 to 114 inches apart in the row. 
Hybrid corn varieties are planted and cultivated the 
same as ordinary corn except that less seed is used 
per acre. Most growers use approximately 8 pounds 
per acre. Do not save your own seed from hybrids. 
Hybrid seed must be produced by crossing each 
year. Results are unsatisfactory unless this is done.
