Exactly .... and the time of year you plant it.  Corn planted in the heat of 
August grows much faster than that panted in April.  Have you  ever had the 
frustration of planting two varieties of corn six weeks apart in order to 
islolate them in time for pollination purposes only to have them tassel at 
the same 
time anyway?
