ABSTRACT:
A support used for supporting a crop cover such as plastic sheet, cloth or netting that is often applied over crops in a field having a plurality of stakes which receive a plurality of the wire-form crop cover supports about their upper ends. The crop cover supports are either formed from a single typically galvanized wire or are formed from two or more galvanized wires welded together. The wire-form crop cover supports include a lower portion having a series of wire loops which are adapted to be disposed about the upper end of a stake, an intermediate wire portion including an upwardly extending flexible wire segment, and a top wire portion having a wire end, the top wire portion being shaped in such a manner that the wire end will not damage the crop cover. The wire-form crop cover support further includes a stop segment which may rest on the top end of the stake. When the wire-form crop cover supports of this invention are mounted upon the associated stakes they will support the crop cover in such a manner that a free floating "canopy" is provided well above the threatening stakes, which canopy may billow in the wind to break up frost stratifications.
