I'm sure there's some that's even taller i just didnt wanna try to find them, lol... I had my gf take pics of us next to it for reference, but i think her shitty camera deleted it..

as for what it is i have no idea, he rents his fields out now, and i have no idea about corn.. just that this stuff is crazy high...

Hopefully you guys have some good insurance to help cover at least the expenses

Yeah, a year or two ago a huge hailstorm came through just outside of my home town and it looked exactly the same, the only place there was still corn was right up by the shelter belts and as you went out from there the height like drastically tapered off and then was just leveled to black dirt with stubs and roots in it.... crazy stuff

wow thats crazy, we lost a few quarters to hail a few years ago, great looking crop too, probably one of the best we have ever seen, hail was between golfball and baseball sized, it was a 90% loss, but that corn is nuts! It almost looks as someone took a disc bine to it!

sorry for your loss, its tough to see a 220bu corn crop one day then nothing the next.

Holy shit zac, thats pretty rough. Im just curious to where the material went? I dont see remnants of anything, only stalks with some roots.

11ft? must not be yellow corn. possibly some sort of sorghum, but even then..

I drove through one of the worst ones. Brother in law's parents lost their house...I'm not sure how the crops look around that area tho. Southern MN got hammered with I think an EF4 at the same time?
