 I'm Jeff Bober. Our farm is Blossoming Acres in Southwick, Massachusetts. We are a retail operation with a farm stand. We do some farmers markets. We grow 40 acres of vegetables, 20 of them being sweet corn. Being a retail operation, we're always looking for different ideas to extend the season. One of the ideas that we've come up with is using row covers to start the season a little bit earlier. When we use the row covers for the sweet corn, we find that we can get anywhere from a one week to a two week jump on the season for when we start picking. We prefer to use a 45 foot wide by a thousand foot roll for our spacing of rows and in order to roll it out properly, we use three to four employees. On a non-windy day, I can apply it by just having them roll it out and hold it down. On a windy day, I have to use shovels to bury a little bit so that I can come through with the Farm All Cub and bury it all the edges in order to seal out the wind. On the Cub, we've taken off our regular cultivating tines and we've put on a healing disc to throw the dirt over onto the cover in order to seal it properly. When we apply the row cover, we like to leave it loose in order to allow for growth of the corn for later on in the season. The covers, once we've applied them, we like to leave them on as long as possible. One year we left the row covers on to the point of pretasal and saved ourselves one or two sprays for corn borer. As far as weeds go, the herbicide takes care of most of them. Unfortunately, if it doesn't, by the time we're taking the row covers off, it's do or die. You live with what you have. When it comes time to take the row covers off, what we have found is I usually get a crew of probably five or six employees. We straddle the different rows and we just roll it up by hand, carefully trying not to snap off the tops of the corn. Once we've rolled it up, we put it back in the truck, take it back to the farm, store it in the barn out of sunlight in order to get more than one use out of it. In the past, I've been able to get as many as three years out of a piece of row cover. It costs around $700 an acre to put the row covers down. The benefit is customers coming to your store a little bit earlier than possibly somebody else's store. Hopefully, you can keep them for the season long.
