VIDEO: What to do if Your Corn Gets Blown Down

Good deal. Wet soil lose roots. Enjoy corn soon. ☮️ HTGDE.
My corn plants still small maybe you should help them to stand again with some soil
Ouch on the corn! So happy to see they stood back up and looking good again. Been some crazy weather this year. Heck 2020 has been one crazy year so far! Stay safe and have a great week Mr. Lea.
That would frustrate the heck out of me!!
Wow lots of corn glad you got it back standing
So unfortunate .. but then Nature bounces back … Awesome
Right on Lea that's pretty cool on the corn rising back up!!
Hope it turns into a great corn harvest down the road!!
Have a good'nnn
Good morning Lea. That's the same thing I did with my corn. Nothing. Mine down here is almost ready to harvest. Well some of it anyway. Best wishes Bob.
That was very interesting. I am so glad to see your corn stood up and still looking healthy and pretty. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so devastating to see the corn laid over, but I have found it very resilient.
Mine got blown over yesterday. Half of them were almost ready to eat. The other half I planted two weeks later and it has tassels, and silk on the ears but not pollinated yet I suspect. The silks had just started showing on some and the others were working on that. So they might be too heavy to stand up. The almost ready to eat corn needed to at least be up another week or two.
How bad did this affect your ear development and harvest?
Mine looks like that today. We had bad storms to move through on yesterday and I came on youtube to see what to do. Nothing, just wait. Thanks! I want to touch it so bad!
This was a great daily update!
Did you have exposed roots or root damage when this happened? I know you said the stalks didn't break. All of my corn is down due to Ersa, and I have exposed roots. It's a test plot of only 20 plants, as it's my first time growing corn, and they looked so great at the exact same size as yours.
They aren't giving up
Having the same problem for the second time now with my Jerusalem Artichoke aka sunchokes. Last nights storm was worse and some have exposed roots too! Hoping they can stand back up again!
