Cornfield Collaboration?

Happens all the time. Even driving by some of the fields up here in WI around September you'd think a skunk was run over. I wouldn't just ask some random farmer though, get to know them first.

We do the same thing here in Maui, but it's sugar cane fields instead of corn and nobody asks permission or makes proposals to the sugar cane company, ha ha.

If you can get some farmer's permission that would be cool if not we'll then you might choose to do it anyway. Just don't mess up the irrigation lines when you're digging. You'll flood the area and if you don't kill some part of the field because of over watering you'll waste a lot of water and they actually might notice a bunch of water continuously running and go looking for it, either way it's messed up because we shouldn't be imposing on the farmer's income and they'll probably keep a sharper eye out for growers too. I don't know how they irrigate corn fields, but here with the sugar cane they run the black irrigation line with drippers. If it's the same you plant near the drippers without cutting through the irrigation line.

If you choose to go the route without permission it will be really helpful if you have someone you can partner with. Someone drives, the other gets dropped off with starts to plant and the driver comes back to pick up the planter when he's done and you repeat that idea when you're checking for males and harvesting. It can be done solo too, but you got to find somewhere that's not conspicuous to park.

And I'd pick a few different spots if you can in case one or more spots gets found. If you're growing from seed you should figure on getting about 25% to harvest of what you plant after accounting for males, pests, law enforcement and rippers, at least that's about the right estimate when growing in cane fields so you don't get heart broken when you only harvest 25 out of 100 plants. Obviously those numbers could be different if growing from clones or if you have permission to do it and can frequently check on your plants.

If you don't get permission, plant 1000 and just check on them a couple times until harvest, ha ha.

Excellent suggestions! I believe the irrigation is done from overhead as I've seen huge, automated sprinkling devices. I'd be growing from clones of awesome phenos, that sounds like half the battle. Go Joe!

So, I've been thinking recently about Illinois' immense cornfields, and how they would be such a great place to grow weed. What a brilliant idea! I googled it and lo and behold, it happens all the time, everywhere. I've come to learn that after the planting of the corn, most farmers never step foot into the fields until harvest time. The nutes, irrigation, sunlight, everything is automated. Plus, cornfields are unpleasant to travel through (sharp leaves, pollen, pests, etc.), and they are planted in rows, so weed rows hidden among corn rows is very difficult to detect from the air. Weed is ready to harvest before corn, as well.

When many farmers come across MJ in their fields, they simply call LEO and face no consequences, as obviously they did not plant it. LEO sometimes stakes the place out for a day or two, and if the grower doesn't show up, they simply destroy the plants at a State facility. Investigation over. I'm sure many farmers must plant weed among their crops, and if anyone found out, they simply claim, "those dirty hippie growers are at it again, goddamn it!" But they stand to make far more from a little patch of weed than from the rest of the cornfield. Many small farmers these days have to have other day jobs to make ends meet, the crops alone don't pay all of the bills. While stoned on a road trip recently, I asked my buddy what he thought my success rate would be to propose to a bunch of small, local farmers a plan whereby I would plant and completely maintain a small weed patch amongst their corn. If I'm caught, he can have complete deniability, but if we harvest, we'll split 60/40 me. Or something like that. He stated that he thought maybe 10% would take me up on it, but another 20% would contact LEO about the proposition. He may be right, but what a great, low-risk situation to make money for all involved. Okay, your thoughts. What am I missing???

Forfeiture laws. Not worth it for farmer. You can only do this without their permission or knowledge.

Although i have grown out door in corn fields and plants do well only problem is cows ten to get more high then you see 90 percent of the time they will harvest the corn well before your plants are done ,, so cows get the benifit of you growing it out there hahaha

Why do pot plants do well in corn fields ? triple 19 fertilizer `19 - 19 -19

unfortunately it means they lose the crop, the field, their home and probably every other asset they have. the carrot is so big and corrupt with forfeiture laws, it is widely abused by authorities. look into it, it's rather gnarly. plausible deniability just isn't enough to stand on with with a farmer's assets at stake. no farmer would agree to cannabis until it's legal.

KY has launched a legal hemp program.

You may want to look into how that forfeiture stuff works. @abe supercro may be right about your/his area or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying abe. That's not how it forfeiture laws work in Hawaii anyway. The other popular spots to guerrilla grow are in gulches and the jungle and if the eradication helicopters spot a grow on someone's property that isn't being obviously grown by the owner of the property, the cops just chop it and move on. They don't even ask the land owner questions about it. I have a neighbor who's cropped out his own gulch for years and once in awhile it gets spotted and chopped and he just replants it. I knew another guy who did the same thing with his jungle property and he was growing A LOT of plants, hundreds every year. The cops know it could be anybody so there's no way to prove who was actually doing the growing and therefor no case against the landowner. I have another couple friends who each own 300+ acres here and people are always growing on each of their properties without their permission and it's the same thing, the cops just drop and chop and move on.

On the other hand, I knew a guy who lost his house and everything to LEO forfeiture and did some time, but he was growing in his backyard and it was obvious he was the one doing the growing; this was also back in the 70's when they were stricter about it all. Another couple I saw on the news weren't growing directly on their property, but they had over 350 plants on all the empty lots around their house. They pretty much painted themselves as the bulls-eye so they got popped. Otherwise, guerrilla growing is safe for landowners here; they can just deny they knew about it if they ever got asked, but that doesn't happen anyway.

So it would be worthwhile to look into how LEO deals with guerrilla grows in your area because the Man shouldn't just be able to take somebody's property without actual evidence the landowner was involved in the grow in some way.
