Re: How do I change the y-axis on an Excel chart from numbers towords. This will plot everything as zero values, since they are all text. You can fake it using one of these approaches: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html. - Jon.
First you must keep in mind that all ears of corn have an even number of rows, never an odd number. All average ears have between 12 and 20 rows. Still, it's difficult to tell at a glance whether an ear has 14, 16, 18, or 20 rows.
Plant small quantities of sweet corn in rectangular blocks that consist of a minimum of three rows. Plant the seed about 3-4 inches apart in the row, and space the rows 2 1/2 to 3 feet apart. After the plants are up, thin them to 12 inches apart. If planted closer together, the corn will have small, poorly filled ears.
