The “plastic” is made of Corn starch. Which makes it EXTREMELY biodegradable.

A 86 year old man told me that the only way to keep deer out of your garden is put them in the freezer

You guys are on the ball! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

I enjoy watching your videos keep up the great work. We Can't get by without our farmers. Thank you.

Felt like some binge watching on reruns ( for me, I love your channel).

10th Generation Dairy Farmer brought me here :P I've watched over a dozen of your videos so far, been interested in finding a channel that grows veggies. Already been a long subscriber to farmers who do corn and wheat but it's all dried up, so it's refreshing to see veggies and fruits that are picked to be served at the table, rather than dumped into a train car for mill processing.

That is very interesting first time seeing sweet corn planted that way

I like the green house . Lot of nice flower

I’ve seen this done in England and always wondered what crop they would use this on. Thanks guys for the upload.

Top class farming guys. I am loving the videos so keep them coming

The green house looks like paradise !

Oh so such beautiful greenhouse ... ;-)))

Not sure why but this video is peaceful. Probably because of the great views in the backround

WOW Great idea...

Great work and a lovely place you have.

You have so many beautiful flowers, I love it

Great episode guys!

Really a pleasure to watch the family working together, and I learn more and more with each video. I just started watching, so I'm interested in finding out just where this farm is.

This is awesome!

Thank you for sharing.

Waw,,, amazing

So cool !

Wow...amazing n inspiring agriculture👍👌keep it up..👍

Very interesting video, thankyou.

A lot like Japan,well done ✅,you and your family stay safe Welsh Lyn

That is awesome!

Amazing amount of work every day. We thank you farmers for providing so much to so many. We could not live as we do without you!

Literally the coolest thing I've seen in awhile +1up 💆

I love watching the manure spreader in action.

Learn something new everyday.

Hi I am watching u guys from Belize central America I love all them

That's good video.

I adore flowers and yours want me to have them all.

I love the starry night petunias I have them.in my garden in the UK

Thumbs up !

Another good video. Thanks, I only have sugar corn for my own use and sowed part 5 weeks later like the rest last year. It was a great success and had fresh corn until late in the season. Now you already have so much work that I understand you are not doing this.

Where can I buy a planter and plastic system like the one you have for Sweetcorn?

Good video thanks

amazing video 😁

My grand-dad and uncle always said the outside 4 rows were for deer and rabbit's. His reasoning was they would get bigger for the dinner table.

Your flowers like it 🌷🌹🌺🥀🌻🌼🌾💐🍃🌸🌺

Your family has a very impressive operation. The variety and diversity of what you are producing and selling is amazing. To keep all the moving parts in healthy production and sales is a huge task. Who is in charge of all of this, Dad, or Andrew, or is it coordinated among the group?

That’s how I plant my sweet corn man. I usually beat the other local growers by a couple weeks. That gives me a chance to sell my corn when no one else has any. I’ve never heard of biodegradable plastic that’s interesting!! I usually just plant my corn on the bed with used plastic from pepper from the year before. That way I don’t have to lay out new plastic for sweet corn, I just plant it on the used plastic where I grew my peppers the year before.

My favorite - Sweet Corn. Howe long does it take for the plastic covering to deteriorate? You weren't kidding, the green house is loaded with colorful plants. Well done

The slugs and snails are what ate my garden.

Stay safe brother.new friend from the philippines

Wow looks good. Loved the plastic on the corn you’ll have to let us know how it works

i had a good belly laugh.. our hanging tomato's sell really good so we try and hide them ( because it would be silly to make money selling them and plant enough for everyone to give us their money for them ) haha

i worked on a farm in southwestern PA we did biodegradable black plastic for early sweet corn. worked very well! but i dont see any drip tape under your plastic. once that corn get a few feet tall your not gonna get enough rain water in the holes of the plastic, gonna have a lot of dried tips.

My Father and I built a number of those plastic mulch applicators for the Saskatchewan government, about 20 yrs ago. It's a very good weed and moisture control method. Works very well with truck crops.

Root growth is probably more important than photosynthesis and keeping the roots warm will allow a healthier and quicker plant development. Laying down plastic for the commercial grower or larger gardens are a very practical and smart method but the backyard gardener will be pleased with results of using 5 gallon fabric or vinyl bags, preferably black, which allows more radiant heat into these bags. For those who live in a cooler growing zone...this method is the smartest way to grow without a doubt.

What an interesting channel! Klaus

try peaches and cream sweet corn you will love it so will your customers thats what we plant here on the homestead for our selfs and farmers market and it sells fast and tastes great we freeze dry, it we can it, and dry it to grind make sweet cornmeal.

👍👌🇨🇦❤, well done boys

Silver queen is my favorite.

Did it work like you hoped? Thanks for the video...interesting and informative.

What I would LIKE to see is for small scale farmers adapting riding mowers and ATVs to prepare soil, plant, and cultivate.

I have noticed the opposite. Deer eat stuff to the ground and rabbits eat a leaf here and there. I watched a group of them munching on dandy lion. They would eat 1 or 2 leaves off of each plant then move to the next.

Bro your dad alone i've learned so much wisdom from him. "Don't stick your finger where it doesn't belong!" "Wash your hands!" and today "Wear your mask, be safe!" love it haha

Any more space between those rows and you can open a bowling alley. Why are you not using half your planting space?

we have been planting sweet corn this way for 10years works very well grows much faster and produces a much stronger plant

How do you enrich the soil putting nutrition back into the soil? Do you turn the corn stalk under to help restore it?

I know I'm behind on latest seed strains. How do you keep the corn from cross pollinating?, And reverting back to field corn? And Seeds that are cross pollination resistant? Thank you .

SB90 sounds like the item number. is it a hybred corn seed? loving the plastic. will try it this next planting. lol. do not have the machine, but the plan os the same. what is the chemical in the tanks?

Looks good. We got sandy soil here in NE Georgia. Grow some of the prettiest silver queen. First gust of wind it just topples over every time. I've ran string tight tight never helps. I've dug 9in deep furs still blows over any ideas?? Lol I'm out if ideas

You may want to get some "over the tire" tracks for that skid steer loader. You would get much better traction.

where can i buy that greenhouse plastic roller thing that is awesome

You do not need a giant fence to keep deer out just a dual row of electric tape fence about 2-3 feet apart. It works very well I have used on a 7 acre food plot for deer to keep them out until plants large and can stand the foraging . You might go to some of the Quality Deer management forums to learn more about it. It would take 100 rabbits to equal the damage 2 or 3 deer could do and you might well have 20 or more deer using a plot but not 2,000 rabbits.

Awesome video. Does the corn do ok when its sprouted under the plastic? Do you have pictures of the corn coming up under the plastic.

stella farms south jersey been planting early sweet corn under plastic for years

Hi all been watching for ever , what’s the name of your harvesting knife , thank you Richard Uk 😅

Ребята, какие же вы молодцы и труженики. Поучиться бы у вас.

we did something like this only with melons

👍

Andrew what verity’s of Tomatoes do you use in the hanging baskets

How far apart are the 2 rows planted under the plastic?

Well that's the good thing about technology...

Plastic works for early tomatoes as witnessed by the famous Washington Boro Tomato Festival in Lancaster County. One ear of white is tasty but starts the migration to bicolored for the next 3 months. Without the plastic roasting ear duration would Be a month! Cut off corn for cooking can be white. A friend looses 10 rows of corn from deer damage next to his neighbors woods each year!

the gap between rows seems very wide, just to allow for the tires.

No till is the way to go friend.

5:52　Gorgeous petunias!!

I would be eating deer stew.

Where did you guy's buy your early sweetcorn planter from?

Hi I enjoy watching your farm. I am just curious to know how much land do you guys have?

no hot dogging Daniel…lol

does the wind blow it off?

I have a question, if you wouldn’t mind answering, how did y’all get started? I’m looking into expanding and doing market type gardens but I’m so lost. Any advice?

We have had luck with low electric fence around perimeter along with a spinning red light on a scarecrow and a radio set on talk radio playing loud.

Was there follow up vid yo yow these corns turned out?

How deep are you planting your sweet corn seed? Ive heard everything from 1 inch to 3 inches haha

Who makes this sweet corn planter and mulch layer combo?

Just found you guys, nice channel! Where are you guys located?

Where do you purchase your plastic from? Looks great

where do you get the machine To lay the plastic for the sweet corn

Hide the Tomatoes from the customers.. Lmao!

How did this planting method turn-out.?

How does the corn get through the plastic?

Wonder if theyre losing space with the row between runs...

Does that plastic help with weed control? For the first few weeks?

What make is layer?
