🌽 Cornses 🌽 update 2020: Garden or Mini farm? The kids are involved 

Random person to kids: "Why does your dad keep saying "cornses"?" Kids: "I don't know. It makes him happy, just roll with it."

“They’re running tractors now” is the ultimate parenting goal

Hey Destin! Just wanted to let you know that corn is pollinated best when grown in blocks. If you only have a few rows of corn the ears won't develop well. Because the crop is wind pollinated you need enough corn upwind of the rest of the block no matter which direction the wind is blowing. In rows, unless the wind is exactly parallel to your rows the pollen will blow away uselessly! If you have had trouble with corn in the past, that might be why

My manses relationship with his kidses is the bestses.

If you fall asleep planting corn and worst case scenario, you get a sunburn, its gardening. (^.^) If you fall asleep planting corn and worst case scenario you run over your sister, its farming (0.0)

Destin, Cornses need friendses. Have rows that are 30 inches apart. For your property, at least 5 rows that are at least 15 feet in length. Blocks of corn will encourage growth and pollination. Great job with the soil chemistry.

For some reason, I couldn't stop smiling while watching you explain your gardening. Thank you for this ;)

Last video: Let's talk about rocket engines in this rocket factory! Today: Cornses :) I love this channel

A Smarter Every Day about soil chemistry and growth cycles and plant biology would be neat. Maybe make it a whole series? Smarter Every Day: Farming? 👍 if you agree!

If you have to use a tractor, that's a farm

i hope when this is done you invite michael from vsauce over to eat cornses on the cobses.

This is too wholesome... I love it!

So lucky to have all this open space available to you during lockdown! Keep up the good work!

Wow, how those children have grown! I would ask what you feed'em but that is, I guess, the point of the video.

Unfortunately, I predict another bad year of "cornses" for you Destin. With only planting a few rows you are going to get terrible pollination. You would be better with more short rows than fewer long rows. Also, at 4 to 5 inch seed spacing, with narrow row spacing, you have a very high population. Seed depth is also a consideration 1.5 to 2.5 inches is typically preferred, but that is also determined by your moisture level at that depth. Deeper if drier but typically not less than 1.5 inches even in wetter soil conditions.

Wow. What an awesome thing to do with your kids. I wish more people did this. That's such an awesome bonding thing for your family.

Excellent! This is what we all will have to do when it begins to have problems of lack of food.

Might wanna consider planting the corn in squares, 20x20 or 40x40(feet) as opposed to one or two long rows for optimal pollination😬

Great job being a positive role model (aka. Being a Dad). A parent isn’t doing their job, if they are not preparing their children to become strong and independent individuals who can care for themselves and others.

I love how really you guys are! Thanks Destin!

Dude when you're driving your tractor to plant stuff, it no longer qualifies as a "garden". That's a mini farm for sure.

I’ve never been good about being aware of the passage of time, but those kids look like they’re growing EXPONENTIALLY! 😮

From launching pad and Rockets...to Cornses, A true family man! Never missed his single video. Love from india.🇮🇳

You typically want to plant several rows of corn near each other. It provides a better chance of of having full ears of corn instead of half empty ears of corn.

Beautiful family you make parenting look easy . Good on you

I really enjoyed this video. I grew up in a 'tobacco farmer family' in KY. Then I moved to Alabama, just outside of Huntsville, like yourself, where (my family at least) only grew corn every 3 years. You're a great teacher, and a great leader.

Those are some cornses-fed kids! I can't believe they've grown up so much! Man, where does the time go? Great job Destin...you're raisin' them right!

Awesome stuff brother! We are still working on our cornses too lol. Green beans, squash, and cucumbers do very well here in NC. We are adding sweet peas this year, and they are out growing everything so far 😁. Praying God watches over you and yours brother!!

I've frequently wondered how you're cornses were doing. Happy to see the follow-up :)

You give me hope for humanity! And.. if you want to sell some cornses, I'm coming down there to get them! :-)

I mean, seriously, "How does one go wrong with Bodacious Cornses????" Good luck to you and the crop!

Oh my goodness! Destin's mini! Those kids are growing up so fast! Makes me feel old! -- Great video ... hoping for a good harvest!

Ooooo nice... science and art! He is a man of many talents.

Wow, Destin! 2:46 your hat is down to the last 2 notches. No wonder you need to learn every day. Got to fill that thing! Love you man, keep up the great work.

2:40 that mammoth's trunk looks a bit weird

So I know i dont know you but you've shared your family with us and I just wanna say thank you. I feel like you have involved them just enough to allow them to be part without embarrassing them. That being said....THEY ARE STINKING HUGE!!!!! AND AND AND!!!! DRIVING A TRACTOR!!!!! BOSS!!! Good luck on the Cornses! I hope its a crop big enough to be a blessing!

I am proud of you for being proud of them. Good dadding sir.

Great to see your garden patch, My wife Jackie's favorite sweet corn is bodacious, something fun to do is have a sweet corn blind tasting with 3 or 4 varieties it was fun to see the different flavor in sweet corn varieties.

This is exactly what I needed today. Please keep us updated.

Best of luck with your cornses this year!

Great job guys. Cornses 2020 BABY!

1:05 the face of a proud dad, so nice!

My family and I doing the farming/gardening with buckwheat and Montana wheat on the property in Colorado. Along with some cold season root veggies and lots of potatoes. It is certainly neat to see another family on the farming endeavour. Praying for planting wisdom for those corn, and your family. Shalom.

Gardening is awesome. Corn grows like weeds here in Ca, wishing you a good growing season.

ouf, your kids are grown ups now! caring for plants, running tracktors! time flies man! keep it up! cheers!

We're growing three 25' rows of cornses this year! I hope yours come up great. God bless!

Wow, the kids are growing up!

FYI Grasses (Maize, wheat, etc) should be planted in blocks. They're pollinated by wind so a single row might struggle to pollinate prooperly. --- EDIT: Read some comments, seems this has already been mentioned.

Dang, that's legit! My ones also drive tractors now. Crazy! I've been thinking of growing a bunch of cornses as well. I have a sheller and grinder, and might try making corn meal (or chicken feed). It needs to get a bit warmer here though, we got an inch of snow yesterday!

I feel very good about your cornses! This is your year! Totally eatable!

Kids are getting so grown up. Cherish the moments.

That looks like so much fun!

WHERE'S THE UPDATE DESTIN!? We demand to know how the cornses grew!!!

There are so many things I admire about you and your life. This is just one more thing :)

Nice! Glad to see you and your family is doing great... Thanks for sending invites for the service on twitter :)

His kids are all gonna be geniuses I swear

I hope your corn goes well this year. If not, come north to us in Iowa and can show you plenty. Great to see your kids getting involved and on the video. It's also great to see they're using the best footwear God gave them.

Great job!! Let's go cornses

Destin's life is so idyllic it's actually ridiculous. Like something out of a children's book.

Good luck with the crops !

I love the handmade signs!

I love the tiny signs!

Knee high by the 4th of July!! Good stuff Bud!!☺

I love it!

Love your videos, greetings from Cancún Mexico!

Can’t wait to see the result!

Hi, corn! Love these vids

finally some wholesome content on youtube

The kids have gotten so big!

The Cornses Per Minute on this video is off the charts.

cool vid dude. love to see the kids getting involved and learning practical skills, what a cool dad.. and off topic how is the phd studies going, any updates.

Destin, your mammoth looked to have a 5th leg hanging out there, all willy nilly. Also, this is great! Rock on, man! Better start getting those Mason jars together for canning, unless you're planning on a Sandlin Farmer's Market :) grace and peace to you

Been waiting for an update on the corners!

1:38 You misspelled "cornses"

I love you Destin!!!!

Very cool! I need to find a project to involve my kids, too!

more farming videos! so pleasant to watch

*They’re running tractors now* I think a lot of us just got hit with a wave of wishing he were our dad

Everyone gangsta til Destin starts growing Tomatoes.

Crazy how big they are!!!

Destin I'd love to see some videos from your perspective and/or learning about different style of food gardening/farming. Specifically No-dig (ala Charles Dowding) vs traditional methods (ala tilling). I think your scientific perspective and learning as you teach style would be fantastic for a series!

They ARE running tractors now. Proud!

Destin, you need RABBIT MANURE in those rows....get a good load or six and plow it in. Big WIDE rows, so you can make good blocks of corn which will pollinate properly :)

This type of content is why I love the second channel

Dustin, Have you thought about three sister planting? - Corn + beans + squash? it's supposed to help greatly with yield.

This is the year for big gardens and extra produce to bless others...

I transplanted my cornses to rows over the weekend. But mine are popcornses. Good luck!!

One day I shall too have many cornses in my garden lol

Can't help but notice your tractor

Good luck!

@Destin you should plant marigolds with your tomatoes! They help them grow really well because tomatoes protects the tomato plants from harmful root-knot nematodes in the soil! would make a neat video

Destin, your plot may be a bit large, but I feel you would love the engineering behind the blumat watering system (no affiliation) and think it would work great for your tomatoes.

God Bless you all and your "Corns eds"

Only an American would call this a "mini" farm. Here in Europe, we call that an "industrial" farm, because you're using machines! ;-p

Omg this is so wholesome! Can we please have more videos like this?

Can you make a video where you talk about cool farming stuff? I would love to really see and understand how that cultivator thing actually works and what it’s doing

Destin my man. Here is how you will grow good sweet corn. You are gunna need about 1,000 plants planted in a block formation. You want 8-12 rows. Each row spaced about 24-30 inches apart. In every row you want each plant spaced 4-6 inches apart. Your problem is pollination. Corn is wind pollinated so it needs to be in a block so it can pollinate properly. Hope you read this because this is definitely the problem. Love your stuff!

Nice to see ya. It's been awhile. Cornses lol, didn't know there was a plural to corn :)

I'd love to hear how your cornses turned out

Dustin where are the farm tools series you where talking about?, Not lawnmowers and such but perhaps how to make your dirt healty or which tools to use in which occasion.(flip the dirt and such)
