The Cornfield - Just an Area for Producing Food… or a Land Full of Secrets?
This doc portrays a little recognized habitat right next door. The spectacular visuals filmed with state of the art equipment introduce the surprisingly large diversity of field inhabitants.
In the western industrial nations cornfields and woods take up the greatest proportion of rural land. But how much natural life dwells in a cornfield? Why are some cornfield inhabitants harmful and others useful and what do the colourful flowers at the edge of the field promise us?
We follow a hamster family through a season full of adventures and are drawn into an unknown world - a world of which we thought we knew everything about.

I grew up in the countryside at a time when we would still see clouds of butterflies and hear the constant drone of bees flying about their daily business. Exploring and discovering what wildlife was around was exciting for us young 'uns and we learned what types of plants and creatures inhabited the fields and hedgerows. Then came industrial farming.

Like a lot of other commenters I thought that calling this documentary a Cornfield was definitely not right as the grains shown were definitely not what most people would describe corn. So I googled it & found this definition which is from British Word History: Originally, the English word corn meant any rounded grain or seed whatsoever. In particular, it was used to refer to the kind of grain most often grown in a certain region. Thus in England, a cornfield is usually a field of wheat. So there You Go. This is actually a correct definition by that standard. I certainly learnt something

Brilliant thanks, I think the little field hamster was the star of the show.
Such a beautiful and informative documentary. I hope you will make more like this. A total pleasure to watch.
What a beautiful documentary. It was lovely to see a field as I remember them as a child, instead of the sterile fields we have surrounding us today. Nature will look after us if we look after it.
Simply, a wonder story, just as life itself is. Thank you for this jewel.
I fully enjoyed this documentary with its wonderful filming and beautiful story narrated so well. Thank you.🖤🇨🇦
What an outstanding amazing beautiful documentary!i just luv these esp.when theres very few animals/critters eatin eachother cycle of life i just prefer not to see!ive learned alot n it just shows how we can ALL benefit from the "cornfields " with very lil if any pesticides!
Exceptional Documentary. Very pleasant, educational, and with wonderful music to boot.

I was born and raised an organic grain farmer. I'm now in my 30s and have never before heard a wheat field called a corn field. It was really confusing at first and drove me crazy. I had no idea that wheat fields were called corn fields by the British. Corn is corn, wheat is wheat. Wheat is not corn. Apart from the word misuse, it was a well done documentary.

Where exactly are these secretive cornfields? Not Nebraska or Oklahoma, Monsanto has strict policies on their cornfields and squatters are quickly put out. Any corn plants found to harbor undocumented species are punished severely. Monsanto is a harsh master, regulating and monitoring all activity from feeding to sex. The fields have ears, and Monsanto hears everything.
Wow, amazing doc. Beautiful and interesting.

i would interested in a documentary on how the camera crew gets the hard angle shots without disturbing the wild life ? its like they are invisible how do they know where to put the camera and does the weather ever screw up the production schedel what do you do when nothing goes according to plan and how do you make it seem as they are posing for the camera how long does it take to get 45 minutes of footage how much is edited out? and why ? what about bathroom breaks? and food and shelter in the field are there any threats such as poison ivy ? snakes or other critters which are not your subject can you deal with an emergency when no medical help is nearby what are the unexpected things that come up ? what is your worst nightmare ? can you keep a sense of humor did i forget anything ? i have liked and subscribed to this channel i hope i hear results from this comment
Omg! So much activities in a field! I live right next to such a field, and I'm grateful to know what is going on in there.
I really want to learn how did you make such a beautiful video like this. Amazing documentary ! 🥰
Golly, this is going to be my favorite documentary. I have extremely fond memories of corn fields as a child, in my grandparents village in Ukraine. I always wanted to one day get a nice book and hide with it in a cornfield, far away from everyone and everything, safe and cozy. Didn't get to do it, however. Hope I can still try one day. A cozy book, a blanket, and stalks of corn to hide in
Szép kis videó ,köszönöm !
A very beatiful nature documentary. I love poppies all kinds& their seed pods dry wonderfully for floral arrangements. I keep forgetting that gansters are found in the wild ad in pet stores. Lol. Thank you.

This is the funniest cornfield I have ever seen. This is a bearded wheat field as I have lived on a farm most of my life. Many of the farmers in the United States pour tons of herbicides on their fields every year leaving the ground sterile of any bugs and etc.
Corn is kernels that grow on ears which originated in the Americas and I didn't see any in this video. I wonder what Europeans called these fields of wheat, oats, and barley before corn was brought to Europe.

Well, they were corns. A corn referred to a kernel of the grain. You should fact check me on this but we call it corn because it was corns. What we call corn was originally called maize but I guess that name didn't work for white people. Anyways there was an issue after world War two where there was a misunderstanding with the German people after their surrender. Basically we were giving them maize as food cuz they said they needed corn. They regarded maize as a feed fit for animals so they were like wtf we need corns of grain.

@@GoingtoHecq If only fact checking was easy these days. Many times you google a question you end up with someone's opinion, what they want you to believe, while it overlooks proven facts. I know this since I googled, "what causes cancer" and most of the "answers" point at smoking. I know for a fact this is wrong just like many experts, doctors, and people like me who stopped feeding their cancer cells what they need: animal fats and proteins. It has been clinically proven, statistics show it, and people like me have proved it for ourselves that the toxins from animal fats and proteins that are released while it's in our digestive tracts will cause the cancer cells in us to multiply and travel in our blood stream to the tissues they can begin to destroy if our DNA allows. Eating animal fats and proteins creates other diseases the DNA cannot protect against. There is huge money to be made if we don't believe this though, so they don't mind investing some to keep us in denial.

12:45 So they say this bee is rare but I live in the US and I have a bee in my garden that does this to my flowers. I've just been calling her "cut bee" and it can't be this bee as this bee does not live in North America. But she does the same thing, cutting fingernail-like pieces out of flower petals. I'm not really mad anymore if she wants them as nest liners to make more pollinators.
Okay I know it’s an old video but for all of those who are confused or don’t know much about agriculture. Although I don’t know if this specific field is a corn field. Many if not all farmers grow wheat in between other crops and til it under to revitalize and fertilize the soil. Some of it gets harvested while in between seasons they use grasses and hay as nutrients to replenish the soil
It is always great to see when animals adapt to cultural landscapes and thrives in the environment
I love it

I don't get it. In the UK do they call wheat "corn" or something? The narrator keeps talking of corn fields but the screen keeps showing us wheat fields (or some other cereal crop).

"Corn" is an old English word. It is a generic term for any grain type plants eg. wheat, millet, barley, rice etc. What you now commonly understand as "corn" was originally called "Indian corn" by the early american settlers. Later they dropped the identifier "indian" . That "corn" plant is called "maize" in other parts of the world, coming from its spanish name.
