One of the farm meetings I went to talked about that - they were saying a 4 foot tall corn would be perfect, it would use less energy for all that top growth & put more energy into the ear; as well would not fall over so easily. Less 'trash' to deal with in fall, and less material to pass through the cornhead as other bonuses.
