Nice pics but down here you brag about how short the stalks are with the 2 ears, each positioned at exactly the same height and place on the stalk. I mean it took resources to grow that 8' and more resources to dispose of it.
Every time I pass a corn field I think the same thing. What a waste; not the corn, the things other than the ear of corn. Course most plants of the sort are pretty inefficient anyway. I do realize that plant residue is good in rebuilding the soil, especially down here where we have little top soil and lots of Houston Black Clay. Course clay isn't all bad. It supports crops in dry summers that would die otherwise.
Genetic engineering is a great idea if you ask me. If you could reduce that plant to say 2' and get your 2 ears, sounds like a deal to me.
Course I don't know the volume of corn in the 2 ears from an 8' plant vs a 4-5' plant down here, nor the quality/kernel count/size. I don't know what the soil type say in Iowa vs Texas has to do with the actual usable crop.
