I doubt you would... And fuck no I wouldn't advise people ask the farmer first! How many farmers do you think have liberal views on marijuana? Not many at all.

Better to ask than be shot. Not sure where he is but here in Colorado we have what people refer to as the "Make my day law". Basically says that if you are in my house or on my property I can shoot you.

If you would shoot someone over planting a few plants then you got serious mental issues. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this?

If I had 9 acres I sure as fuck wouldn't be trying to grow on someone else's property. Cut down some trees on your property, make two or three plots where the light can get through and grow a couple there. It's as simple as that
I agree, there's three of you; clear a few trees and grow on your own property.

ok, true this is my 1st grow year. BUT I AM A COUNTRY BOY and i grew up on the farm working on other people farms.. you are VERY VERY VERY dumb for thinking about growing there.. your own words.. "the farmer tends his crops" true.. he might not know what grass looks like... BUT.. you know.. they clean the grass/other plants out in between there corn crops.. there not like these big farms.. and just spray them.. they seriously run the tractors down them till the corn gets to tall then they hoe it out.. find some where else
the farmer want get in trouble.. he can just keep sayin he new nothin about it... never confess to shit and your chances are high.. def if he's old.. true it could put him away but you know.. the odds are low...
also, far as the "Shooting someone for growing on my land" well.. we seem to forget... bullets go both ways when we least expect it friend...

Tromping around on other peoples property is a bad idea. I really don't see any negative consequences to asking the guy if he would mind. I know plenty of people who would shoot at a stranger on their property, it's unusual to see people coming out of the woods when all that ever comes out is the occasional elk. They may shoot over your head first but if you keep coming at them the next would not miss.

My pops is a farmer and he walks his beans I know that but I'm not sure about the corn. I'm pretty sure he does. BTW I'm in Iowa I think there is a higher chance of me getting shot while asking the farmer if i can grown in his field rather then doing it without his position. Colorado has medical, so they would be a little more liberal on it.. Iowa seems to have an absolutely exploding population of tea party fuckers.

Okay, I am a farmer. Here is some info. Growing on land that is not your own is a very bad idea. You need your grow op on land that you have permission or you own. Think about what your risking. Going to prison for 5 or more years. A farmer growing in his own field just got busted last year, 15 years in prison, of course he had 525 plants, and he had the problem of loose lips. You need to be able to control as many of the variables as possible. I walk and drive my fields alot and I have over 2000 acres of land. I know how it is when you get on a idea, it is hard to get away from it. Plant in your trees and TELL NO ONE. The number one reason people get busted is they tell other people, then those people tell more. BUSTED Good Luck Grow happy and have fun.

Where I'm from, MANY people who grow outdoors grow in corn fields. Regarding the chances of the farmer walking the fields and stumbling upon your plants, 15-20 acres is VERY VERY SMALL when it comes to a corn field and that is a possibility. What I'm surprised nobody has touched on in a thread about growing MJ in cornfields, is that there is a high probability of this being a sweetcorn field, especially since it's small. If it's sweetcorn, you will never harvest your plants since sweetcorn is harvested (in my area) from late July through September. Just starting to bud and then..... poof, nothing left but heartache. You may never eat sweetcorn again out of spite and bitter reminder, lol.
That being said, even if law enforcement were to find the plants, they're well aware that the vast majority of people who grow outdoors do so on someone else's land or state land. So they wouldn't do much of anything about it aside from ask the fella if he seen anything suspicious or if he knew who it could be.... which is still not very cool.....but it is what it is and nobody here has to like it. I do have to agree with others that if you have your own land, clear a little and do your thing.
As for the guy who sees " no negative consequences" to asking the farmer if you can grow an illegal drug on his property ? Probly one of the stupider things I've heard someone mention in a while. I'm sure you value your security more than that guy does. With an astronomical high chance he'd say no, he could A) call the authorities B) WILL guaranteed tell people about your proposal. Not to mention that him and the never-ending chain of people who hear about it will all know you as a marijuana grower. If there's corn nearby and people own acres of land, you likely live in a small rural area where people love to gossip. By noon, the next day it's all over town that you're running a king kong size MJ growing empire, lol. That has the potential to not be productive when it comes to the task of growing Cannabis, lol. But then again... maybe he's right and there's no downside, lol. Best of luck to you

lmfao.. thats so funny can i please put this in my signature bar?
I'm a farmer and I've been growing around my fields for 4 years now. The key to growing on farm land is to not actually grow in or even right next to the field. The best places to find are small patches of woods around the fields, and preferably next to a water source. Farmers will check and spray their fields throughout the summer, and while it is unlikely you won't get caught you still want to play it safe. If I were you I would use google maps to find a nice, isolated patch of woods near several corn fields. I've been growing in a small patch of woods right next to a creek with great success over the past few years. I average between 1-2 pounds per plant, but yield will increase with experience.
As for the morality of growing on someone else's land I don't really have an opinion. I don't grow on someone else's property but money is money and you have to take risks to make it. If that means putting your plants on another person's land then so be it. I know this sounds irresponsible but when it comes down to it, who would you rather see go to jail? You, or some random guy?

Are you serious "who would you rather see go to jail?, You or some random guy. wtf. You mean you would actually let that happen.. hope I never get in a bad drug deal with you. Sorry for sounding so rude, but where is your moral compass. This is what gives people that like to smoke or grow a bad name. Good luck Grow happy and have fun

your not going to get him in trouble for growing on his property.....lol..... However if he grows corn in them feilds why would you risk him finding it, find some clear spots in your woods or some shit. state land, land people dont go on etc. good luck dont be stupid
stay out of the farmers field dude. those crops out there are how we make a living. stick to the woods...or around the outsides of the field in the fence rows where there are no crops...thats usually very rich, undisturbed soil.
also, if the farmer is growing corn on corn year after year, he will have to heavily fertilize the field because corn depletes the soil of nutrients real fast...may fry your plants. you should only grow corn in the same dirt 3 years in a row...and thats only because they make double and triple stacked seed that is genetically engineered.
