Some farmers will cut off the silk to about 1 to 2 inches above the corn top to get all the silk the same length to pollinate every silk (you get the full cob of kernels) by hand then but you must use a paper bag to gather the pollen, dump it on the silk then put the bag over the cob stapling the bag together at the bottom. Hope this helps :-)
