Most modern corn hybrids produce an even number of rows of kernels per cob (weird fact huh?) and 16 rows is a typical number, and 50 kernels per row is common, so 16 x 50 would be 800 kernels per ear.
HOWEVER those numbers vary according to the GEM = Yield formula (Genetics x Environment x Management = Final Yield).
