Growing popping corn is so much easier
Comment on Soil nutrients have such a marked effect on corn

I stopped trying to grow corn in my small backyard as it wasn’t worth the effort for the amount of space it would take up to get good pollination. Once it gets to the middle of summer here in the southern hemisphere, corn becomes really cheap to buy anyway.

Plant it in a small high density block. Say 1m x 2m. You can put a plant every 15-20cm equidistantly in full sunlight.
You’ll need to fertilize them heavily, but it works really well.

I might try again next year. I’m slowly reclaiming the lawn and turning it into growing spaces so should have more room then.
