Milestone · part of 8(A)(5)(A). (a) Corn

8(A)(5)(A)(1). Grow a plot of corn, inspected by your counselor

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 8: which option?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

And record the seed variety or experimental code number. The inspection has to happen while the plot is standing.

Warning. Your counselor has to inspect the plot, which means they have to come and see it while it is standing. Agree that visit when you plant, not when you are ready to sign off.
