Planting Instructions:

• Planting Depth: Sow seeds at a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches into the ground. Planting too shallow can lead to the surface drying out, while planting too deep can expose the seeds to cool soil temperatures, which may cause seed rot.
• Planting Dates: The ideal time to plant sweet corn is between May 1 and May 15. Planting earlier may risk frost damage, and planting later can result in smaller yields.
• Seeding Rate: Aim for a planting density of 24,000 to 26,000 kernels per acre. This helps achieve optimal growth conditions.
• Row Width: Maintain row widths between 30 to 36 inches, ensuring the spacing accommodates the equipment you will use for nurturing and harvesting the corn.

These guidelines will help ensure your sweet corn grows successfully with high yields and quality. Choose Jackpot for its reliable performance, sweetness, and ease of growth, making it a perfect choice for fresh consumption or selling at local markets.
