I need a farmers help

[RockstarChris]

I have been growing about a 100 stalk corn patch and we got 100 mph winds in MO last night that flattened my corn. Will it naturally unflatten or do i need to go out there and lift them up?

thx

I have no idea why, but I'm actually interested to hear the answer for this. Wish I could help TS, but I don't know anything about farming. Hope your crops are ok.

It usually takes my corn stalk about 10 minutes before it will rise again.

Depends how badly they're bent. If they're basically touching the ground you might have to stake them. If they're just mildy bent over, they should rebound on their own after a bit.

You'll find out in a week or so if they'll straighten themselves out. Corn is notorious for laying over and bouncing back as long as it didn't pull out the roots.

 

[mjmj]

Previous two replies are correct, it just depends. If it’s just pushed over, it’ll likely right itself in the next couple weeks. If it’s actually creased the stalk badly, it may not come back.

Corn is like Jesus. It will rise again in three days. Or then again, it could all be a myth.

I need a butter churner's help!

Should have taken Federal crop insurance.

I feel for you TS, can't have any cornholin' without any corn amirite?

 

[Osculater]

Tug on it firmly but gently to make rise up again and the corn should be fine too

 

[mushishi]

Show them this and they should rise in a few minutes:

Fuck you guys, he's no corn expert.

If you don’t mind TS, and while we’re on the topic of growing plants, anybody know anything about growing bell-peppers? I planted some in a pot indoors and if the pot wasn’t big enough, I was going to move them to a bigger pot after they sprout. They’re grown a bit and starting to lean to the side a bit. My grandmother says peppers don’t like being moved so it’s too late but I’m hoping she’s wrong about bell-peppers since she only grows chili peppers. Also, when is a good time to put up like a stick to give the plants some support?

Here you go TS.. Hope this helps. The starting images are of a barn and tractor, so it should be of some assistance.

100 mph winds probably messed em up pretty good. How high were they? They should be about shoulder high by this time of year. At least in wisconsin

Mine are always in a garden, but I always stake them as soon as they start to lean, usually 20” tall or so. I’ve transplanted hundreds of pepper plants, of all types, though they’re usually <10” tall when I move them to the garden. How tall are they now?

Shoulder high sweet corn, in WI, in early July? Field corn perhaps, but even field corn in Ohio is only waist high right now. You guys had a much milder spring than we did if they were able to get corn planted that early.
