Jim, that doesn't look like a cutworm cut to me. Most of them are almost completely horizontal. Are you sure you don't have wind blowing your plants around and causing them to break off at the ground? I had several spaghetti squash plants that self-destructed in a 25-35 mph wind. Those big leaves are like sails on a boat. Sometimes if you have cutworms, you can dig a little around the base of the plant and find them since they hide in the ground during the daytime.

These are completely horizonal. I guess the camera angle was wrong. Looked like someone just used a knife and cut straight across. If I hadn't known better... I would have gotten my ******* after someone cutting them LOL. Strange how they left only one on one 30 ft row and picked and choose the largest ones to cut /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Main waterway from top to bottom. I need an areator to go over this and re-seed it.
