I think it's an interesting idea, though like you, I'd be concerned
about pollination working properly. We're in the process of setting aside
some new acreage at the Research Center for organic research and I'll
consider looking at this issue. As easy as it is to grow sweet corn, it's
difficult to keep earworms (and borers) out organically. If you learn
anything more, let me know.
