corn blown over

[dadster4]

Same thing happened to mine...stood it back up and it was doing well...until the bear came in two nights in a row and finished it off for good. 200 stalks, 5 ears made it to my plate:hissyfit:

Another note on blown over corn is that I think--just think--that too much nitrogen is a part of the problem. The nitrogen makes the corn grow so fast that the new growth is too fragile and the corn is too tall to handle the wind. Over decades of doing corn, I've noticed a correlation between too much N fertilizer and corn susceptibility to wind damage. I'm prone to "more is good" thinking but I've tried to take it easy on N fertilizer and think I've had less wind damage. Just a thought.
