Hello! How many corn stalks do you have in total? It looks like it didn't get pollinated properly. Each kernel must be pollinated or it won't fill out. Corn wind pollinates itself, so you need to grow a lot at the same time! I grow corn and the minumum for good pollination is three rows about eight feet long.

Insufficient pollination. Planting in blocks helps (like 6x6, or 8x8).

Way too close together, not enough water, to many weeds, and they choked each other to death. It's early, replant.
