After watching this video and your explanation to my comment yesterday, it makes sense. You will have to remove the plastic once the corn sprouts and before it is impacted by the plastic. Good video.

[@macfarms]

The plastic is biodegradable so it should be ok. As long as the sun hits it it will break down.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Interesting concept with the plastic. It'll be nice to see corn growing on the Mac Farm

[@macfarms]

Yeah going to be something different, exciting times!

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

You guys planning on chopping it?

[@macfarms]

Yep. Going in the silo.

[@DLKHAY]

Does being more than 1/2 way to the north pole have a drastic effect on the corn growing?

[@farmcentralohio]

at 12:38, that view over your shoulder is amazing

[@macfarms]

Haha I was standing on my front step. Not a bad view to have in front of your house. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Can’t wait to see the crop growing. There’s a farm near us here in south western Ontario 1/2 hour north east of London that plants quite a few acres of sweet corn under plastic. Might use a similar planter.

[@macfarms]

Maybe so, I searched on TH-cam and seen a couple being used in Ontario. I think planting sweet corn with them is more common.

Good day Farming fishingOnt. I'm from Kit-Waterloo area were is this farm, Here in Kitchener there is a family that has a stand close to Waterloo, they grow 120 acres. Thanks

Awesome

Great video

[@macfarms]

Thanks for watching!

[@farmcentralohio]

love all your videos, really cool seeing how your farming is done. one request, at the start of the video don't spin us in circles so much lol

[@macfarms]

Lol I’ll see if I can stay still 😬😁

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

We have a plastic layer, I think I did a video with it in the field. One of your problems might be that your rows aren't straight. I believe the layers are designed to go in a straight line- turning will add slack to one side of the plastic, and it may not cover well with dirt. Is that cow corn?

[@macfarms]

I doubt it would handle much of a turn but there is some elasticity to it. Yes it’s silage corn for the cows.

[@davidwhittredge3416]

Is the plastic for a greenhouse effect because it’s cold up there?

[@macfarms]

Yeah that’s the idea of it. Heats up the soil and holds moisture.

[@jankotze1959]

Nice Mac, first time I see you planting corn I guess and under plastic, may be I forgot but it will be interesting to see how this work, thumbs up

[@macfarms]

First time for us Jan we’ve never grown it here before. Thanks for watching.

[@ES-zj3cz]

Who has to pick the plastic up at the end of harvest or does it biodegrade in the ground?

[@macfarms]

It’s very thin like cling wrap and it’s biodegrade-able so they tell us it should be pretty much gone by the time it’s harvested

[@JamesOBrien2253]

@@macfarms I was reseeding a field for a guy last week there wasn't maize in it for 10 years and there was bits of plastic everywhere

[@davidmacintosh6420]

@@JamesOBrien2253 if the plastic is covered with soil it won't degrade, the sun breaks it down
