A question for the guys that farm? I just cash rent my rowcrop, which is only 4 - 12-15 acre cornfields. The majority of my farm is rough Loess Hills timder. I usually buy back a few acres of corn in each field to get the deer through march. We had some big hail about a month and a half ago, and alot of wind since. There is a ton of corn laying on the ground or close.
How much can be picked when its down? Alot is flat, but quite a bit is 6-15 inches off the ground. My farmers equiptment usually leaves very little on the ground. I am trying to determine how much to leave standing this year and how much will be unable to be picked. I assume flat on the ground will stay there, but how low can a farmer, going slow and low, recover the knocked over corn?
