Planting corn can be done by hand. I don't know how much you are looking to plant.
Just make sure you prep the soil and plant to the right depth. I have brassicas planted this year and clover. Next year I will plant corn as a late winter food source. There are no acorns this year, and they have hammered the brassicas. Tough hunting this year though.
