Now is a great time to estimate corn populations and make replant decisions. In most cases, plant populations of 28-32 thousand plants per acre result in optimum yields. A fast way to estimate plant populations is to use the 1/1000th of an acre method. For 30" rows, measure 17' 5" and count how many plants are in that distance and multiply by 1000.
