An Iowa woman planted a few stalks of corn outside her cafe and one of these stalks now has a whopping 27 ears on it.

Ilene Mittag of Mason City got a few foot-tall stalks back in June from her husband’s grandfather, who farms in Minnesota. She planted them in front of her business, the Wild Horse Western Cafe, to give a little of a country feel to it and didn't think anything of it until she noticed how many ears that one stalk was producing.

Normal stalks of corn just have a few ears and there was one stalk was documented having 14 ears but Ilene has almost doubled that.

Ilene's other stalks of corn just have a few ears each and nothing special was used on them besides some compost.
