I want to stop cross pollination between Corn varietys but I read that to do this you need to grow the different varietys of corn at least 700ft apart.
Does anyone know if I could stop cross pollination by sowing the two Corn varietys a few weeks apart?

Are they Hybrids or Varieties. If they are Hybrids I don't see the point of keeping them from cross pollinating. Unless you are trying to keep the collor of the ears the same. I don't know enough about these two corns. Are they white vs yellow? Looking at the names makes me think they are both yellow's.
