You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

An early sweet corn plant normanly produces 1 ear. Late sweet corn plants produce two but one is inferior to the other.
There are specific types of corn that produce 6 to 10 ears per plant, these are used for the production of baby corn which is used in stirfry's and salads, but due to the cost of growing it very little is growm in the US.
Field corn can produce one or more ears depending on the Hybrid used.
An ear of corn averages around 800 kernels set in 16 rows.
A pound of corn averages around 1,300 kernals
An acre of corn yeilding 100 bushels has approximately 7,280,000 kernals
A bushel is 56 pounds of kernals.
There are six diffrent types of corn, Sweet ,dent , flint, pod , flour and popcorn.

1-3 ears per stalk. Depends on the variety you chose to plant and the growing conditions.

One to Three on average, or just one and only one.The answer truly depends on the population density of the field of corn which you are asking about too.
