While traditional wisdom suggests that corn should be "knee-high by the 4th of July," advancements in farming techniques now allow corn to reach much greater heights by Independence Day. In Illinois, many cornfields may have plants exceeding seven feet tall by early July, depending on planting times.
This growth poses potential challenges for drivers as tall corn can obstruct views at rural intersections. State Senator Sue Rezin advises motorists to exercise caution during the summer and fall seasons. She emphasizes the importance of vigilance, urging drivers to "look twice" when approaching intersections on rural roads and highways.
