Corn math

So we are going to pass about 50 non-stop miles of corn today.  

The stalks are planted about 6 inches apart, and the row spacing is 2 feet.  The fields go back really far from the road, but for arguments sake, let's say one mile (on each side of us)

If each stalk produces only 5 ears of corn, we will pass about 12.5 BILLION ears of corn today.
