You don't get much bang for the buck but my wife likes it so I plant it. In the 21'X4" plot, I can fit 39 corn plants, spaced about 18" apart with 13 plants each in 3 rows.

For giggles, I may try plant pole beans in the south row after the corn has gotten at least 4" high. In the north row, I may try and plant sugar snap peas for a fall crop.
