Here at our farm in Peru we have always planted corn at 3". Something we learned from the Inca people. Or like my grandfather used to say, "when it comes to corn planting depth, use the middle finger".
Yea the Inca people man I agree
Yea middle finger man🖕
The Incas were at the forefront of the human race! Ya know, until they weren’t.
Can I get some farm tips??
I'll remember that. Thanks
jesus this dude really hit the ground running. turnt up to eleven RIGHT OUT THE GATE
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing
My guess is that Jesus knew that before you did.
Why didn't he just start at ten?! But this guy goes to Eleven, see?
I thought the same thing but I guess it worked because I watched the whole video about “corn” lol
Holy shit 🤣😂
I am not a corn farmer and I got excited about planting depth
I am certainly no farmer but this food for thought and other informatuon on this channel will definitely help me improve the yield in my garden.
Thank goodness for the people who experiment for us! We always plant deep in Montana because we are dry "dryland". The corn seeds need the deep moisture that is often not on the surface.
I live in a city, but now I badly want to plant my corn at a 3" depth. Thank you youtube algo.
If u plant sweet corn in your garden 3” deep it won’t come up
@@charlesbullee7215 Yes. The seed will rot.
Whoa. He reached into the corn rows and pulled 2 pre shucked ears. That's skill.
😂😂😂😂
You're funny lol. 😎😄😁🙄😁😄😎😎😏🙄🤔
He has the children of the corn in there 🤣
Hehehe
💀💀💀
Thanks Peter ! I'm planting corn today ! I appreciate this video....
In the garden I hope and not ur ass
Thank you for the video. I appreciate the information, it was very helpful. You made the video so exciting.
Thank you PETER, GREAT JOB in your study RESULTS. IMPRESSIVE
Now just because the earlier emerging plants out yield the later ones may not correlate directly to a 6% loss in yield per day, the loss in yield is somewhat offset due to the fact that the earlier emerging plants out perform the others all season long in gathering nutrients and moisture, using them as the benchmark for yield potential is not exactly proper, due to the fact that they have received the lion's share of sunlight, nutrients and moisture.
If every seed emerged at exactly the same moment they would not yield as highly as the early emerging ones do, due to the fact that none get the lion's share of resources.
Thank you 🙏 for the wonderful video.
My farm is doing great thanks man :D
Thanks very much for your help
Good information thanks for doing the research
Best salesman I’ve ever seen
Wow Your Information was soooooooooo helpful!!!!!
This worked great! I planted Hickory King 3" deep on May 9th and all broke the surface, and some a bit more, by the 15th so it was a tight race. This corn is being planted way North in Zone 4b of Vermont. Seeds were soaked ~6 hrs before planting. We are up to 1381 GDD here and the ears are filling out nicely. Is there a GDD estimate for Hickory King?
New Englander here, how does the soaking the seeds work for you. I usually but my seeds from Seedway, treated, but have never soaked them. I've done this with some other vegetables, but never corn.
Thanks for the info on soaking seeds 6 hours before planting.
Great show
That energy is awesome
Great job peter
Amazing!
Iam planting corn today,thanks for the information .
Ok Pete. I planted sweet corn 3 inch’s deep 6 days ago. It’s had plenty of water but hasn’t come up yet. I planted G 90. Live in North Mississippi do I need to replant.
If it was Hopi corn and the ground is dry, you should have planted 8 inches down. The truth is that it depends on variety and conditions. Three inches down for commercial dent corn in the Midwest in nominal conditions is too deep. Period. It will work, but it will also have some consequences. And we know this from decades of study, not from one guy's declarations on YT.
Amazing.
They seem to be knocking down the corn before it even got very tall near where I live. Does anyone know why ?
Owht ... mantab sekali. Indonesia harus bisa meniru ini
Thank you
OK so I just bought me a 9020 Simplicity with a tiller and a cultivator so I plan on turning my front yard into a cornfield because I want to try it I want to try it I wanna see what it looks like I’d like to eat corn my backyard is full of tree fruit trees and vegetables growing now I’ve grown corn in the past but nothing crazy you know corn pots corn on the ground for five stocks you know maybe got 12 years whatever this time I want to try more so what corn do you recommend buying to plant and are you staying planted at 3 inchesOr plant at 2 inches I believe I am in zone 10 B thank you
We usually plant early and 2 inches down...my neighbour likes to plant last...often 2 weeks after we are done and blows us out of the water on yield. He plants into warm ground so his emergence is perfect...
Whenever you decide to plant, wait two weeks. lol
@@dewainkoester1026 Depending on the year planting early can get you yield+ or out of an early fall frost...but it can do the opposite for a late spring frost. We go when the leaves start to shoot out of the trees.
Yeah sir, thanks for the tip...I plant corn at home Garden level...but I still do it right so when it's time to scale up, it's all good..
Please HELP this novice planting corn in pot and I broke clean off from root with watering hose. Can I save my stalk by putting in water to grow roots? Or is it done?
How did it go haha?
Which state is profitable in USA for agricultural production ??
When checking planting depth, do you measure to the top of the seed, or the bottom?
We're going to talk about this on Monday's radio show (430 E, Channel 147 on Sirius XM)
it makes sense thanks for the share
I wished I had seen this before I planted a corn into a few containers two days ago. Might have to add some soil to it, as I only planted one inch deep. Always learning.
And now after all the heat we endured last Wednesday, it is rather cool. Never know what the weather will do, even in the near middle of June. 🤔🙄😏
He's talking about field corn, not sweet corn.
A Civil War Trust allows the growing of corn at one of its battlefield sites in Virginia. However, I’ve noticed that after the corn is ready for harvesting, the growers do not harvest the ears of corn. Later, the stalks are completely removed and a different crop is raised in the same fields.
Why aren’t the ears of corn harvested?
This man is turnt! 🌽
Watch from Gujarat India 🇮🇳❤️
A tried-and-true method I go by when my wife's lombego starts acting up I know it's a good year to plant corn. Never fails
How's the lombego this year?
@@t.lledsmar6052 it's not bothering her this year so must be a bad year for planting corn
@@mistervacation23 that sounds accurate. I was wondering why nothing germinated, thanks for the quick response. And I'm happy to hear that her symptoms are less.
this has giving me anxiety that I haven't planted my corn deep enough now
It will grow if you throw it on top of the ground and take a leak on it dont worry
Best Corn i Hane ever seen
We tried 3”deep it was our worst emergence ever. Very uneven. Going back to 2
But by harvest seeding 3” depth our crop turned out to be one of our best on a drought year as well.
Thanks sir from india
So planting corn at 1” means it won’t be tall? I have this problem every Year and am about to give up. My corn only gets like 4-5’ tall...
Genetics & climate affect height. Cool stays short.
Cool also affects cob size and maturity
Take it easy Pete lol 😂
Nice video. Sir you look like Robert Redford.
Kinda depends on the future forecast of rain, and how dry the ground is, ground is dry no rain in the forecast you plant it bit deeper!! Here in northern Illinois there’s no such thing as normal Weather anymore pretty ridiculous, it’s either a drought or a flood LOL!! We usually plant 2 to 2 1/2 inches deep and it does work well but it’s all depending on the weather!!
Been like that all over the world. Population control through controlling the means of production. Look up us Navy weather modification and weaponization, and drone swarm technology. Idk how long it's been active but I can tell you it has ramped up the last year or two, right when the weather started acting different. Kinda like the dense fogs that come out of nowhere if you're anywhere near the coast when the navy does their "steaming" operations. You've probably noticed those all of a sudden this year too. They really been accelerating on all fronts since the whole covid propaganda started
Next clear starry night especially on a weekend take a look in the sky if you haven't noticed the drone swarms already. On a moonlit night you can see the chemtrails behind them very clearly. They like to fly low and slow close to the ground and fly in large circles around major populated areas. Look for the lights that look like an airplane except for the distinct lack of any audible engine or jet noise, then look up the flight path, time, direction of travel etc on any public flight tracker website and notice that none of them show up; they are all undocumented flights. FBI says they're "investigating" drone swarms over every major city. Something tells me if they wanted to find out who was sending the drones and causing such a national security threat they'd be doing more to find out. Obviously either us forces carrying it out or foreign operatives with permission from FEMA/us govt or some combination thereof. Also notice how all of a sudden right as FEMA assumed control, all your Navy/police buddies are under strict orders to not discuss work matters with anyone, even friends and family. As in they'd lose their entire pension, and probably much worse
Beautiful
hello sir
can you please tell your fertilizer plan per acre,
I am from Pakistan and may be you know our yield is very much low,
but i want to improve it ,can you give some tips?
To double your yield, double your fertilizer usage and irrigate during dry periods. Plant more seeds (reduce spacing)
@@seunosewa thanks
Fine what a healthy blooming harvest now kindly assist me am struglling with poor yields
Just wondering ,or if you remember or heard of "Truckers Best"?? sweet corn
Trucker's favorite, it's not actually a sweet corn. It's a dent corn. But at the right stage, it is sweet enough for roasting or boiling. My kids gobbled it up.
Wow so many corn
Corn will emerge the day after (1 day after) planting at 3inch depth? I must have misheard something
Hell no it’ll take a week or so minimum at that depth.
The day after the typical emergence at 2" deep. That's what he meant.
I just got 200 seeds of sweet corn and will try this out
Why would planting depth effect emergence? Some seeds pop out roots faster than others, thats just the way it is. The plant that pops roots a day earlier has an advantage regardless. Its got a full days head start.
Great question. If I had to guess it would be that the increased depth improves soil moisture consistency among plants. If so the benefit could vary depending on soil qualities, irrigation and many other factors.
I think moisture as well as temperature is more consistent the deeper in soil you go. Two factors important to emergence.
Has this been replicated or found by multiple researchers, or is this your anecdotal results from one planting? Did you replicate it the next year? Thanks.
My thoughts precisely. Need some replication, and sources.
The flag test done in 2020 sowing season by Sencer Solakoğlu at Turkey, Bursa . His test show the exact same results. Homogeneous or even emergence directly effects the cob size and also the amount of grain on them both horizontally and circular. He also argues that if the total sowing amout is very large the 1 day rule becomes 12 hours respectively. There is the link of that video if you are interested.
ua-cam.com/video/8UKkel9ozHE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SencerSolakoglu
replication is often not done because it's impractical, either way they are no amateurs, yield measurement encompass the development of thousands of plants in a cluster...
Shouldn't pests be taken into consideration when deciding how deep to plant? Crows will just dip their beaks in and most of your crop is gone.
Nice
I so wanted that little boy "Omen" to walk out the edge of field behind him 40' or so away. 🤔 You know, see when guy realizes he is there, the corn immediately becomes a cover crop and 🏃♂️💨 🌽 🌽 🧍
But, I already welded my planter at 2”!
Andrew Mutsaers unweld it.
How about if you started corn seed in a tray and are going to transplant out in the ground , now how deep do you plant the plant?
I believe starting corn seeds in trays stunts growth for slower and shorter plants. It’s best to start seeds directly with the seed tip pointing down.
@@stevenvan-un8781 Ain't nobody got time fo dat!!
Did you find the answer Rocco?
@@stevenvan-un8781 starting them in "red solo cups" 2-3 seeds per cup so you can set them out can give you some sweet corn way earlier than most folks get it especially if you have an early variety
Play around the characteristics of call and chips get the corn to grow at ___planted____12 cm tall only corn about
__corn____10 ml
Pete you never said how deep to plant it!
You can see how deep he played it up his ass with the brown circle round the corn
3 inches
Simmer down, Peter...
🤣
just casually pulls fully husked corn out of a field...
Right........when the ground is hard as a rock.......and the corn is planted deep........population suffers ! Been there done that !
Steven Seagal grows his own corn.......

Peter Johnson
Do you teach people about planting corn ?
1. Start with fresh corn seeds for the best results.
2. Directly sow seeds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart.
3. Cover with soil, space your rows of seeds 30 to 36
inches apart.
4. Water your block of corn well after planting.
5. Corn stalks are sturdy and should not need staking.
What about fertilizer when do u fertilize and what do u use for a home grower
Yep yep the deeper I planted the more years I get
Well shit. I followed the package directions of 1-1.5". :(
all things considered, put your corn at 2"
it blew his brains out....
Sir you never said how deep plant
I'm native American, and yawl just figured this out lol
Kash hindi me hota
Their not cobs they are ears!😂
Перевод
science speak
Not true at all especially if you own small farms, wait I didn’t know this was canada
Y'all know he's talking about field corn, right? Don't try this with sweet corn. Especially Sh2 varieties.
corny info... lol
boron deficiency
make sure you spray lots of roundup on the fields with airplanes. All the time!
Roundup is what I would avoid as much as possible.
Nothing beats the health benefits of eating organic, and even better if homegrown. As much as possible anyway.
Robert was being sarcastic.
@@heidimisfeldt5685 Reasonable amount of roundup shouldn't be dangerous. And nothing on this Earth is "organic" anymore. The label "organic" on fruits and veggies is just a legal excuse to increase your prices. The FDA labels food as organics to those that use FDA approved and regulated fungicides, and pesticides. "Organic" still contains those.
Good day
@@SpectorEuro4
Just a little bit of poison, is still poison. Hard to say what stays in the body's delicate tissues and what damage it causes over time. I avoid what I can, but I do know that nobody can avoid toxins 100% anymore in this tragically polluted world. 😰😱😳
@@heidimisfeldt5685 Well if you're so scared of poison, then why aren't you scared of the toxins formed in your veggies when you don't do anything to avoid pest and fungus in your crops? Your prejudices are quite convinient, huh? I'm guessing you're one of those that don't know anything about GMOs and hate them just because "Industrial, Monsanto, evil fruits hurrr durrr"
"It's hard to say what stays in your body" So you're scared of nothing but ignorant speculation? Do your research, proper research at that. Peer-reviewed researches that don't have stupid liberals agenda.
BASF is a plastic company hahahahaha
Is he on drugs?
He's on pure Corn syrup
another guy who thinks having excellent seed spacing doesn't mean anything. enjoy..
