| While hail would certainly wipe it out......if you look at cumulative damage over the years, deer by far. |

| AGREED on corn. Deer actually don't wander into the interior of a corn field much once it gets 4 -5 feet tall it seems. We can go around a field and get 1/2 a bin full in the combine, empty it, and barely make it around the field on the second round. Coons wipe out a lot. |

If your worried about to many beans to fit your bin Freebee, we could bring some hogs or cows to eat more. Much easier to catch after they reduce your crop than the wild critters you are looking to bring in. Yes I know your just a carpet farming steering wheel holder. An in the real world nothing more destructive than wild hogs. Pray you never have any they hide very well and have babies multiple times a year so they can explode in number. When conditions are right I have seen voles suck 100's of acres of crop down there little gopher like holes. If you have gopher holes but no pile of dirt it is voles.

Thanks for the replies to all but 4  !!
Sadly, Iwas only interested in "animal" damage, but hail would beat ALL of that

| Deer can do a lot of damage depending on herd size by eating the ears and I have seen close to a. 25 acre destroyed by bucks fighting. Raccoons get the first 6 rows by a woods. Sand Hill Cranes pull a lot of Corn when just emerging. I have seen Geese destroy soybeans where a field was close to a lake. In my years in farming nothing is as sad a sight as fields of corn,soybeans or wheat destroyed by hail. Next is wind either straight line or tornado. As for insect damage Army Worms can strip a field in days. As one Farmer neighbor always says" One damn thing after another"! |

| around here, some farmers will let their cattle graze some on the soybeans when they are about 4-5 inches tall, the beans will grow back thicker than they were before, creating more pods as they grow. |
