12 rows 75' long.
The electric fence is keeping the deer and coon out for now, but it does nothing for the japanese beatles.
Pic taken yesterday, tilled between the rows today, and tomorrow we will do some more hilling in hopes the wind don't blow it over later on.

Great looking stand and wish you the best.
Mine looked the same when it was in that stage and we haven't had 1/2" in the last 6 weeks. In fact the plants still look healthy. But I'm not too optimistic about the outcome come harvest. Ears are looking small and really not sure they will fill out. Never seen so many plants trying to make 3 ears which is odd for the lack of moisture. Just saying if you don't get rain when the plants need it most its going to show in the final product.
