I live in N. Arkansas, and right or wrong I'm putting some in the ground this afternoon. The 15 inches of rain we got in May prevented me from getting all my crops in. Right now I'm only 1/3rd done with planting, but hope to be finished by Wednesday. The good news is, every thing that's in the ground right now is up and growing well. Got another field of dry beans to go in tomorrow once I get the ground fit; this will be the second time that field was planted due to rain.
For sweet corn, I use the old Golden Bantam type and have had good luck with it. It is a 78 day corn, so that puts harvest around mid-August if everything co-operates. I'll side-dress it in about 3 weeks with some N, also dust it the first time.
As far as keeping bugs off, just keep the plants dusted with Di-pel or similar dust and use B.T. when the ears silk. I've had good luck the last couple years with B.T. keeping the earworms out. They are the biggest pest that I've had to deal with. Most other bugs leave the corn alone.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
