Maize plastic

[cowboysupper]

A quick query for the maize experts out there...

Our seed merchant supplies both Barbier and Samco film for growing maize. We are keen to get the inputs into our yard ASAP in case of distribution issues in a couple of weeks when we want to sow.

We had ordered Samco plastic but the merchant claims Samco's distribution is slow at the minute. We know nothing about the Barbier film, all we know is that contractors prefer the Samco film over Barbier. I'm assuming it's because most of them have Samco machines and it's what they're familiar with.

Has anyone experience with the Barbier film for maize compared with the Samco?

I've no experience with anything other than Samco film but have you tried speaking to Samco? I find them very helpful, when I spoke to them last week they were struggling with haulage but managed to get a machine over to me and had a few more machines destined for the UK.
