Your in zone 5 and your corn rows are blown over? Wow!

Yeah! 45 mph gusts have ripped through all day. I'm just hoping that I can get them back...5 and six leafers!

Corn a foot tall or less usually fully comes back up. Three foot and taller probably will have some bend in it.

I would say unless you got a real early start not much dammage was done. The Growth point in corn stays below ground until the V6 stage. That is when you have 6 leaves that have a collar on them. That means if you mow or break off a couple of them over before the Growth point is above gound and they will survive. I would say you should be fine.

I will clarify my post. When I said that corn a foot tall or less would fully come back, I meant it would fully straighten up from lying flat or nearly flat on the ground. Five foot corn may need propping back up.

our corn was 5/6 ft when wind blew over last week & it has 'turned' & righted itself. interesting.

My sweet corn went down about 10 days ago due to high winds. It was at about the 4-5' stage. Most has straightened up nicely while a few are somewhat curved. I am certain it will not affect crop production.

Last year I had corn that was 3-4' tall and after a windstorm it was laying down completly flat. It righted itself within a few days. DH really wanted to go out there and push it up himself, but I convinced him to leave it (it wasn't easy).

As long as the plants are not snapped off it should fix itself. Even if it doesn't completly right itself the tops will start turning so they are growing upward.
