Actually, I had fine pollination with six corn plants in my triangle 
garden last year.  The problem I had was I made the mistake of 
throwing an ear on the ground after checking for ripeness.  The 
squirrels discovered it and that was the end of the corn.

I am in zone 6 and the corn has been in for a week.  So the only 
problem I could imagine you would have in zone 7 is if hot weather is 
a deterrent for corn germination.
