Corn Tassel

Saw the first tassel on Son's corn here is Northeast Iowa yesterday--planted April 22. It got off to a slow start and got frosted but with all the rain and 90 degree temps it has come on fast. Hope the rain keeps coming for the 10 day forecast has highs in the 90's.---Tee

Can see 1 tassel--stood on the Gator for pic.
 
I planted my first corn on the 22 also and it started to tassel last weekend. Poor stuff has been thru a freeze and frost, excess rain and a dry spell. Got some rain last week and with the 95 Degree days is looking great. The beans I planted the same day all froze to death.
 
Some corn here in NW Indiana is just starting to tassel. My corn has a lot of growing to do before it tassels.
 
My corn was planted May 1st. Just barely over knee high. The talles in the area is barely 4 ft. No (measureable) rain in months. Over 100 today.Irrigation 'stocks'/reservoirs are dwindleing rapidly. However,they are expected to last the season.
 
Corn in central Iowa is tasseling and starting to look like pineapple. The fields with sand pockets are about done for.
 
Big Tee,

Renter's corn is just beginning to tassel too (in southern MN). I just noticed the first tassel yesterday. His corn same as your son's... planted early, came up beautifully - then lived through 4 nights of hard freezes when small.... then it just stood there in the field and did nothing for several cold, grey, rainy weeks.

Sure wish we all could get a nice rain soon... everything could use a drink after the past week of all this crazy heat - which is sticking around for a bit longer yet.
 
I saw one field starting to tassel east of Sioux City about 40 miles. A couple fields here at home are about ready. A good shot of rain would be real helpful right now.
