| Hi, this is my first year growing corn and I'm a little concerned that the silks on my corn are browning but the cob hasn't filled out yet. I've read that it's time to harvest when the silk starts browning AND it has filled out. Any thoughts? |

| It's getting close to harvest time when the silks turn brown, not the tassels. |

Not even close. The silk will be dry and brown when ripe. You maybe a week away.   |

| What farmerdill says. Your close though. |

| Thank you both! Apparently, "browning," really means brown :) |
