Yup, have done so for years. I just use regular flats and inserts, usually 48 cell trays. This is a MUCH superior method of starting corn, IMO, especially for the Sh2 varieties which MUST have very warm soil to germinate.

No special techniques needed, other than using a heat mat to provide a warm root zone to ensure proper germination. I transplant out when they're about 6 inches tall.

The advantages of this are that they will germinate much better, you are guaranteed a nice, solid stand of uniform age (no younger plants scattered in, since it eliminates the need for replanting due to non-germination), and by the time you put them out, they're past the stage where crows bother them.

Also, all of the stuff you hear about corn not transplanting well or not tolerating root damage is pretty much bunk. I've had them sometimes not come out of the cells well, and have had them many times suffer pretty severe root trauma or damage if I pulled too hard and they sort of pulled out instead of coming with a rootball. As long as there is some vestige of root on the plant, it will grow. Of course, you should be as careful as possible with them, but if an accident happens, well, it will still grow. Also, if the whole "top" seems to break off, as long as you can see a "stub" of tissue attached to the root, this too will recover and grow.

I start them in peat pots and slice the sides of the peat pot with a knife when I transplant them. Put some mulch around them and be careful not to knock them over. They are fragile. I usually start one crop about the middle of april and plant out the middle of may, then direct-seed another at the same time.

I started mine in newspaper pots indoors last year and had great luck.

Here's another way to start corn -- pre-sprouting in paper towels. This would work best if the weather's warm enough to plant them as soon as they've sprouted. Otherwise, starting (or planting) the sprouted seeds in flats might be better if you need to wait until the weather warms up or if you want the corn to grow some before setting it out.
Use presprouting to test the germination rate of seed that's more than a year old. You can also presprout to have completely germinated early corn.

To presprout seeds or to test germination, fold four paper towels into one. Moisten them and sprinkle the seeds onto the moist towel mat. Even though you're sprouting the seeds indoors, it's a good idea to use treated seed to protect them when they're planted outside.

If you want to presprout all your seeds for planting, sprinkle 25 to 30 seeds on each paper towel mat, using as many mats as you need. Roll each mat jelly-roll fashion, being careful the seeds remain evenly spaced. Next, roll up each paper towel cylinder in a damp facecloth.

Put the roll-ups in a plastic bag. Don't seal the bag -- air needs to circulate for germination. Place the "seed sprouter" in a warm spot for four to six days. As soon as the seeds germinate, take them out and plant them. Plant sprouted seeds just as you would unsprouted.
