Corn prefers hot or warm, frost-free weather.
It needs full sun and windbreaks in areas where strong winds are a problem. When corn is pollinating, water at ground level so as not to disturb the process. Preparing the Soil Corn is a heavy feeder and requires a rich soil. Plan to enrich the soil well in advance of planting. If possible, work in a 1-inch layer of manure the preceding fall.
