Hi, Lincy! I don’t see why you couldn’t give it a try, but I would expect hand pollination to give spotty results for corn. Corn is wind pollinated so it’s best to plant at least 16 plants in close proximity so you get the most plump kernels. If you don’t get a lot of wind, you can walk through your corn patch tapping the stalks to encourage pollen to be released from the flowers.
