2 in 1 or 1 in 1 ?I recently planted sweet corn of the Golden Cross Bantam Hybrid species and the instructions mentioned to allow 2 plants to grow in a hole. This is the very first time in my planting experience that I come across such a instruction. Actually I have very little experience in planting and this is my second attempt in planting corn. The norm is usually to allow only 1 seedling to grow in 1 hole to avoid crowding both above and below ground. I was confused, very confused and so I decided to post this very alien to me instructions here entitled Can I do this? OK I got the feed back and today is the day I shall decide ... 1 or 2?

I would follow the directions on the packet. If you are concerned, you could do 1/2 & 1/2 (ie 1/2 your plot with 1 plant per hole and the other 1/2 with 2 plants/hole.) My guess is that the company wants to ensure good fertilization. Or does the company instruct you to thin out the second seedling? Another idea is to shoot to seed company an email about it.
Oh! KK, I forgot! Good luck with your planting! Nothing is better than sweet corn!
Good luck with your planting, KK.
