cutting population. Only way I can think of to have better stalks if lack of rain is the issue. I never used to have all this trouble with point rows falling over until populations were pushed to 30K and over. Maybe it is only our area, but it can get hot enough in july to cook pretty good.
I realize many hybrids are bred to produce at extremely high populations now, so there you go.
