Pollinated!

We have one field so far that is fully pollinated. Usually by this time all fields are pollinated and ears are growing fast. But due to us planting later, pollination time is later.
While walking through this field, I got pollen all over the screen of my mobile phone. The sweet smell is delicious!

Notice the small seeds of the tassel within the silks. That’s all it takes to create an ear of corn. Pretty amazing.

The silks are turning brown at the tips which means pollination is complete.
