Sometimes a caterpillar will eat off the base of the silks - making them look ripened. Will also eat the corn. Corn love Nitrogen, Zinc and water especially early. Beans grown up corn is good, but the beans don't put much nitrogen in until they die off.. I also grow cucumber/gherkins/lebanese cucumber under the corn. 3 crops in one.
