Well, I was talking about the corn, I just waited for a hot still
afternoon and cut one tassel off (gently). Then I brought it near the
silk of whatever ear seemed ready and gave it a tap. The pollen floats
in the air fairly well, so I fluffed the silk in the cloud a little bit.
I don't know how much it helped (since I didn't -not- do that to any),
but I got full ears...
