Picked some of our corn today. The further left you go is where we ran out of compost.

It's a pretty good example of a few things.
Starting from left.
Ear 1 & 2 lack of fertility early on.
Ear 3 severe pollination issues - no fertility problems.
Ear 4 and 5 - ran out of fertility around tasseling.
Ear 6 moderate pollination issues - looks like the plant germinated late.
Ear 7 is immature
Ear 8 - tip back - either genetic or linked to planting density/light levels.
Ear 9 - on the edge with full light and adequate nutrition.
This reminds me of those cookie diagrams showing too much salt and too little flour
And too much penis
You should add these to the photo, to make an awesome cool guide.
