    The corn kernels that don't receive pollen will not fill out.
    This is a lack of pollination issue.

    They may not be getting enough water. Corn has very shallow roots and needs lots of water during its active growth, especially in temps as high as you are experiencing. Typically, the garden needs about an inch or so of water each week. It is a good idea to water deeply (for about 20 min. or so) every other day or two, depending on the weather. Once temps reach 85 F and up, daily watering is often necessary.

    Not sure, since they were frozen, but it's worth rolling the dice for fresh corn! It depends on the zone you're in (check to see here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/planting-zones/usda-planting-zone-map.htm ), and you probably won't be able to "stagger plant" (planting a few seeds each week so that they ripen successively over time). If you're in a warmer climate you can plant up through about the first week of July, so get them in the ground NOW :-) This article will give you some tips: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/corn/how-to-grow-corn.htm

    If you live in a hardiness zone where fall can get pretty cool (late September, early October) and winter is harsh, try growing corn indoors (no, seriously) -- this article will give you some tips on how: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/corn/tips-for-growing-corn-indoors.htm

    Sweet Corn is not recommended for planting in straw bales.

    It simply grows too tall and my research shows that very few ears are produced with this growing method.

    Sweet Corn is one for the regular garden.

    I would read the label of the chemical that you used and verify the concentration and application method.
    Yellowing leaves can be due to several reasons.
    These articles will help you pinpoint the cause.
