Best corn I got-most barely up

Here's a shot of my field checker with me today. This field looks great compared to the rest. Rotary hoed and hoed other places like crazy this week. Most is just couple inches tall and barely holding on if at all. Lots of replanting to do or switch to beans. This field is almost pure sand. I walked it around noon after it rained 2.25" the other week and hardly anything stuck to my boots. It might look good now, but it will fry this summer and is typically the lowest productive field. It always gives us a place to start because you know it's going to be dry enough to plant!

I like your spacing. Like you measured every kernal.

Where are you? Tallest I have seen around here was planted 4/23 and is about 6" tall now.

We're in lower NW IN-Lafayette. I don't have my cheater book with me, but this got planted about 1-2 weeks before that. This is a farm that needs and can handle a lot of rain. We got 6" 2 weeks ago with almost 4" in one night. We planted more than 150 acres of corn and beans early in that heavy rain week at another place (more clay) and then it turned dry and cooked the top. They are in poor shape. I drove by farm in the picture to make me feel better. I think the angle makes the spacing look better, I've seen a lot of skips and doubles around. It's an old 7000.
 
Your corn looks great, hope you get the rain. I have the same issue on my ground, light soil, but we have had less than 2" all spring. Corn is holding on in most feilds, as long as we have cooler weather and low winds it may hang on for a while but if I get 90 degree days with wind and sun it's gonna be ugly. The no tilled corn is thriving but if I no till everything I cant really utilize my manure.
