Us city slickers don’t know much about corn other than what we see at the grocery store. I wouldn’t have noticed. And even if I did, for all I know this could be a corn plant mid growth. I take it the green parts are never getting whole kernels?
""Tip back" in corn refers to kernels failing to develop at the tip of the ear, leaving it blank or incomplete, often due to stress (drought, heat, nutrients) during pollination or early kernel set, causing the plant to abort kernels it can't support, though it's not always a sign of severe yield loss if the rest of the ear is full. It's a natural indicator of the plant responding to environmental challenges, where the tip kernels are the last to form and most vulnerable to stress."
The underdeveloped corn actually being a seed issue or not is not the point here, I agree with OP that if you want to convey abundance in a quick glimpse, this is not the way.
As a farmer, i've seen ears of corn with less tip back after a two month drought.
lol no wonder you noticed. Yes, even use a stock photo if that’s your product

Correct, once it starts to yellow.Whatever isn't yellow, is not gonna fully develop.

Google
Although this one here is a severe yield loss.
Yeah, that's not the "last five rows are under-developed". This is "I'm not buying half an ear of corn for the price of a whole one".
I dunno, if you've ever planted a "little bit" of corn, you'd know this is truth in advertising.
You need to plant more than just a little bit for it to pollinate properly
When I first read the title I thought of a sperms bank until fully processing the image with it.
I think I miss my wife 🚬🗿
Reading the title with your context is disturbingly accurate.
I hate that both of you are right.
You typed it man not me
Wait are they into ear stuff?
You know what they say,
'Once you go black, you go deaf.'
holy shit dude
You stick it in your wife's ear?
You never met Walter?
Isn't that due to a lack of pollination?
Yes.
That's not the seed's fault...
Hi, farmer here, and yet it can be. Weak silk (female part of the corn plant) can be hereditary. . . .

Thats how corn pollinates
They just have pictures of hard-pore corn out in the open like that?
LOL🤣
This user is from Nebraska
Couple states east actually.
Atlantic Ocean
This user is from Illinois?
Dang
Illinois has good corn!
Would you say its better than iowas. >:)
I raise you Jersey corn.

It's vanishing like the McFlys.
I assumed it was a way to show the life cycle of corn. Although am not a corn farmer, so cannot confirm.
Life cycle? Maturing stage? Fuck I’m high.
Nothing to do with seed quality, but it is definitely an odd depiction to use
Corn kernels are seeds. The corn kernels are clearly low quality.
That's the child corn.
It should be 50% off.
the image didn't load for me and I was very confused lmao
Also for the kernels that are developed, they have issues too. They should form nice straight rows and columns like this
TIL it’s called an ear
What had you previously called the thing corn kernels come from? Kernels, cob, husks, and all?
Yeah you reminded me, cob. If you haven’t reminded me of that word, I would have just called it the body/branch/root of the corn.
Calling the whole thing "corn" is fair. I'm not even sure where "ear of corn" comes from (they don't really look like ears?).
I read it as half the ear being unemployed.
buy our what now
That's bad advertising, not bad design
Which is a bad design choice for their advertisement
By that logic a meal that tastes bad is a bad design choice of the cook?? :D
No
PSA for males facing financial hardship who also have >2 brain cells: There are organizations that will buy your seed.
/edit clarify because important
I have a feeling this is generated by AI.
Its from my local Walmart.
How do you know it's the earz that could be it's mouth you wouldn't kbow
