   Any hybrid sweet corn should do well in the valley.  Corn requires warm   
   soil conditions to germinate, so the earliest corn can be planted in   
   western Oregon is about May 15.  Planting your corn now should give you   
   a little later crop, but it should be fine.  Pick a location in full   
   sun, plant the seeds about 1" deep, and pray that the sun shines.   
   Fertilize as dictated by soil conditions.
