Never seen plastic on field corn! I live up in New England which has, especially in the northern parts, about as short of a growing season as you'll find in the continental U.S.

We only grow for silage and sweet corn in my area, no grain of any significance

Sweet corn under plastic, yes...it's kind of half for profit, half for bragging rights among certain market gardeners to have "native" (locally grown) sweet corn ready for the 4th of July. Which in our area requires the corn be started indoors, then transplanted under plastic tunnel outside until mid-May or so when the danger of frost is past.
