[MI] Kids go picking cherries, find marijuana plants

PAW PAW, Mich. (AP) - Some children out picking cherries with their father in southwestern Michigan ended up finding about 50 marijuana plants in a farmer's field along the way.
Lt. Robert Kirk of the Van Buren County sheriff's department tells MLive.com (http://bit.ly/1brEVUU ) that the family called shortly after 10 p.m. Wednesday to report the discovery.
Kirk says it appears that someone pulled out a row of corn and planted the marijuana, knowing that the farmer's field would be fertilized and watered. In cases like this, Kirk says whoever planted the marijuana would usually come back before the corn was harvested.
Sheriff's deputies pulled up the marijuana plants and they will be destroyed. Authorities say it's common for marijuana growers to try to hide plants farmers' fields this way.

if your going to grow outdoor never grow them in an area that's going to be watched over, the farmer could have just as easily spotted those plants. I reckon planting in corn fields probably fails more times than it succeeds

Actually not true, we have used corn fields for over 15 years, of course a couple patches have been found, but 90% never were.

How do you reckon that it fails more than it succeeds? Ever tried it or pulled it off? What experience do you have to comment on this?
Cornfields are a great place to raise a few plants and ime never lost a single one.
Comparatively speaking, cornfields grows don't get busted very often at all.

Right. Because there's no chance they may have to cross through a corn field to reach the cherry trees.

Not necessarily Child.
Perhaps the same person who owns the cornfield owns the tress. Or can one only grow a single crop in the land of your imagination?
Perhaps the owner of the trees has a "right of way".
Perhaps the owners of the field is just a nice guy and allows people to cross.
Perhaps you should be clever enough to think of these things without needing your hand held?

Sounds like trespassing and honestly to the guy above if the farmer was growing pot in a cornfield that was in between a cherry orchard and the road?
I'm not even sure that it was the farmers but in his sense definitely deny it

I wondered if they were trespassing also. Another article I read actually suggested they were. I bet this was only one patch of dozens for a guerilla grower. Cornfields are real common places to grow plants especially in the Midwest / flatter regions where you don't have topography to your advantage. The only real risks are the farmers coming to spray the fields unexpectedly (they usually come mid-June to early July to spray corn fields), the farmers picking the corn too early, or helicopters seeing them from the sky. You need to have quite a few in rows for helicopters to spot them. Most get away with it, those who don't usually can't be identified. So besides having to add your own soil and amendments, and making sure the corn doesn't block the light, it's not THAT bad. However there are lots better places to plant even in the Midwest.

What places are better than cornfields if they are nearly undetectable and without responsibility. How else can you grow on private property and noone is arrested?
