I always heard that it was necessary to plant a minimum of two rows, so the wind could pollinate the corn. Seems to me that wind blows in many directions, so if it can pollinate the next row, it could do the same to the nearest plant- in the row. As far as end or outside rows doing poorly- on end rows it is often due to extra compaction from machinery turning there, and outside rows on a field often suffer from competition for moisture from trees, grass, etc. too close to the row. An extra nozzle on the sprayer just for outside rows helps to kill vegetation that sucks up water.
