75' is more than enough....... Except on the rare occasion that the farmer plants corn on both sides. A low wing like a Cherokee feels kind of cramped when the corn is full grown.

Thankfully the local guy who farms it is a pilot also so he only rotates corn in occasionally and then he only puts it on one side.

Many years ago when I first was dating my wife there was corn on both sides and I flew in nearly nightly in my Grumman low wing AA1B and then left in the dark..... felt like I was in a tunnel.
