J, I can't tell from your exceptionally crude drawing but it looks like you're planning a single row of corn, planted in 2 weeks stages.

Since corn is wind pollinated you'll be much better off planting the corn in blocks with at least 4 rows across, even if they're shorter in lenght. 4 x 10' rows will give you a much better chance for complete pollination than 1 x 40' row.

Are you planting the same variety in 2 week stages? No problem if you are, but if you're not some varieties need to be isolated to avoid cross pollination.
