Laying Plastic Mulch & Feeding Sweet Corn Before the Storms

We're racing the rain again on the farm with a packed day of critical jobs! With just a short window of dry weather, we finally laid down black plastic mulch for our vegetable crops — a key step that helps with weed control, soil warmth, and moisture retention. After that, I loaded up the nitrogen applicator and side dressed our early sweet corn with 20 gallons of 28% nitrogen to give it the boost it needs to grow strong and healthy. These are the kinds of days where every hour counts — getting caught up before the next round of rain hits. If you're dealing with wet spring conditions too, you'll relate to the hustle! 👉 Chapters: 0:00-1:17 intro and disking 1:17- 2:51 our plan for the veggie field 2:51-5:57 laying plastic mulch for veggies 5:57-8:24 how the mulch layer works 8:24-9:09 finishing touches to the raised beds 9:09-14:36 why we use black plastic mulch 14:36-14:58 early sweet corn update 14:58-15:29 hardening off veggie plants 15:29-20:26 applying 28% nitrogen to sweet corn 20:26-21:28 closing comments More in depth explanation of the plastic mulch layer:    • This is Why Plastic Mulch Can't Wait | Far...   ✅ Subscribe for more real-life farm days, crop tips, and behind-the-scenes homesteading! #PlasticMulch #SweetCorn #SideDressing #VegetableFarming #RainySpring #FarmVlog
