I’ve seen a lot of pictures on agtalk. There is real damage on even shit that’s still standing.
Broke is ****ed. Laying over is only moderately less ****ed. If the ear is sitting on dirt it will rot right now. If it tries to fill it’s got half the leaf tissue to make starch. Then harvestability becomes a pretty big issue. Big thing is the leaves have been stripped off of virtually every picture I’ve seen. That’s bad news. Also saw a bunch of pictures of damaged ears. I assume hail.
