I have two small fields that I plant here at the house about 1/2 acre a piece and are only about 20 yards apart. Mainly just to watch the deer out the window. When I left last Saturday going to the beech they were about an inch or two tall and just as pretty and green as they could be. Well I got home today and they are gone. Looks like somebody plowed them up and never put any seed out just bare dirt. Damnedest thing I have ever seen.

It's been pretty hot, it could have just come up and died

I read somewhere Black Painters, Chupacabras and Calds like to fight in new green fields. Maybe they had a scuffle and tore the field up

I’ve seen where deer have wiped them out in a short time. When it is wet, they pull the plants up by the roots. We had a remote field on our hunting club wiped out in a few days. Someone had a camera on it and there 14 deer, I think, at one time on it.

It didn't flood out that is for sure. Army worms maybe I guess not sure what it looks like after they been there. No hogs here and would be easy to tell if hogs had done it. A few deer tracks in the fields but not enough deer around here to have done that. Maybe the heat killed it maybe army worms, whatever did it it's gone without a trace.

Army worms will wreck havoc on a tender green field. We had them in the pasture a couple of years ago and sprayed them. Haven't been bothered since. You need to keep a daily check. B

If it was army worms I wish I had been here to see it so I would know what to look for in the future.

We don't have any cow birds up this way, or if we do I have never heard them called that. I did notice however a lot of crows more than normal being out in the fields for two or three days prior to us leaving last Saturday.
