While those of us in the midwest have a relatively easy time coaxing our corn to grow, farmers and researchers in the Texas High Plains face almost continuous drought. This area is the most intensively irrigated region in the state, according to the Texas High Plains Evapotranspiration Network.

We can find an answer in Growing maize in clumps as a strategy for marginal climatic conditions.
