of plants and number of ears in two rows along the rope.
Pull 3 random ears from each row (3rd, 5th, and 8th ears) and bring them back to the car.
Measure length of each ear and calculate an average.
Count number of kernel rows around for each ear (this will always be an even number!) and calculate an average.
A corn yield can then be estimated.
(Average ear count X Average Ear Length X Average Kernel Rows) / Row Spacing
(Example: Avg. ear count: 50, Avg. Ear Length: 6,
