Connie,

The only time corn could possibly survive grazing like that would be when the leaves have been up and growing for only 2 to 3 weeks and the growing tip of the plant is still underground. (The reason corn grows this way is to protect the growing point from late frosts.) So, assuming your corn is older than 2 or 3 weeks old, and assuming the growing tips were out of the ground and visible, then this planting is done.

It is possible to replant, but probably not right now. You need to plant your late planting of corn so that it will be tasseling/silking/pollinating in Sept. after the temps have dropped down cooler again. Sweet Corn pollen that forms in very hot weather like we're having now (daytime highs above 90 degrees) is often sterile and results in no ears to poor ears. Some varieties have more pollination trouble in hot weather than others.

So, for a fall planting, time your planting about 80-90 days before your average first fall freeze date. If your soil is very dry at that time, water it a couple of days before you plant to help ensure good germination.

Now that the goats have tasted corn, they're likely to want more, so ensure future plantings are protected from the goats one way or another.

Do I smell a barbecue in the making? ;)

That is always a possibility, especially if they don't start doing a better job of eating the underbrush and poison ivy. (I hope the goats are listening!)

God Bless,
