Looks like it's spaced a bit further apart than the stalks behind it. Plant a field at 15-20 thousand kernels/acre and most of the stalks will look like that one.
We planted a really early hybrid--something like 79 or 82 days to maturity (104 days +/- about 6 days is the norm) on 30 acres a couple of years ago. It was a very hot, very dry year. 3-5 earshoots from just about every stalk (looked promising), but most only filled out one ear, and it wasn't much of one. Ended up being about 65 bu./acre.
Many of these stalks also had mini-ears that formed off of the brace roots, several to a stalk in many cases. Some looked like a bunch of little bananas. Ears were 4 or 6 kernels around and maybe 10-16 kernels long, and those did pollinate and fill out in many instances. Couldn't get those with the combine, though.
