I sure like Kandy Korn, I grow it every year. Kandy Korn can't be crowded, I put the rows 42" apart and 14" between plants (a seed every 7", then pull every other one out when they're 8" tall).

Kandy Korn makes big 9' tall stalks, and in our summer thunderstorms it can sure get laid down. I drive a 5' metal fence post at each end of each row, and when the corn gets tall enough I run a strong cord on each side of the cornstalks in the row between the tops of those posts.

I don't know any corn variety that can prevent earworms. I keep earworms to a minimum by getting Sevin dust on the silks just as soon as they appear, then dusting them again once a week.

Kandy Korn is so good our family and friends all get to asking me if it's ready every year weeks before it's ready.
